Introduction

The open-source OpenSC/libp11 - PKCS#11 Wrapper Library provides a PKCS#11 Engine Plugin for OpenSSL, allowing seamless integration with Primus Hardware Security Modules (HSMs). This plugin enables OpenSSL to access PKCS#11 modules, including Primus HSMs, using the familiar OpenSSL API, providing a semi-transparent interface for cryptographic operations.

This guide outlines the steps for integrating and configuring the PKCS#11 Engine Plugin to work with Primus HSMs. By following these instructions, you will be able to leverage OpenSSL to perform cryptographic functions securely using Primus HSMs.
