== Information about the Candidate OASIS Standards and the OASIS PKCS 11 TC ==
PKCS #11 is an application programming interface (API) that enables interaction with cryptographic devices in multi-vendor environments. These Candidate OASIS Standards received four Statements of Use from Cryptsoft Pty Ltd, Feitian Technologies Co., Ltd., P6R Inc., and Thales e-Security [4].
The OASIS PKCS 11 Technical Committee develops enhancements to improve the specification for ease of use in code libraries, open source applications, wrappers, and enterprise/COTS products. In addition to the candidate specifications, the TC has delivered implementation guidelines, usage tutorials, test scenarios and test suites, interoperability tests, coordinated functional tests, conformance profiles, and sample reference implementations.
