Groups - Extending the PKCS#11 API for 3.x uploaded

[Stef Walter<stefw@redhat.com>]

        Submitter's message
        As discussed in the last TC meeting, here's a proposal for extending the 3.x API. 

Some aspects are obvious candidates for brainstorming, and are noted as thus in the proposal. Explanations and examples are present in the footnotes. 

The "epilogue" contains a list of advantages acheived vs. (what I see as) minor additional complexity.

Wishing you all the best,

Stef

Document Name: Extending the PKCS#11 API for 3.x

Description
The OASIS PKCS#11 TC has been looking for a way to grow the PKCS#11 API for
a future 3.x version.

In addition various other limitations have come to light related to
extensibility and flexibility of the
2.x API.

This proposal seeks to solve these issues, and importantly, do so in a way
that is compatible with PKCS#11 2.x and various undocumented extensions to
its API.
