Draft of text to fold into the PKCS#11 profiles document.
Example tests to follow - but the prose her matches the examples presented at the face to face in the style agreed.


Thanks Tim.


Section 1.2.3 has a typo:

The value for PKCS#11 textual information(CK_CHAR, CK_UTF8CHAR) SHALL be encoded as hex strings.

'hex strings' should either be 'hexadecimal strings' or 'ascii strings' or 'utf8 strings'. I think it's supposed to be hexadecimal strings (as in the other formats described), but it could be the other two since it's called out specifically.

As always with XML there are a multitude of different ways things could be represented - but this represents a pattern from following a simple set of rules and generates readable output that is familiar to PKCS#11 API users.

It also allows for data driven conformance testing and specification of new concepts.

There are a couple of additional tweaks to document that improve the readability of the XML that were used in the examples in the face to face which need to be folded in to the specification where some minor renaming is performed for consistency where our parameter naming is inconsistent within the specification which will be added in a subsequent update.
