For all those developing or that have developed an implementation for
PCKS11:
In taking on this task, my current implementation of the functions only
handles session (local) object creation/storage and handling. I am
about to tackle token level objects (since now I have an actual smart
card and card reader).
Functions like C_FindObject and C_GenerateKeyPair will perform their
actions and then also return back object handles. This is all fine and
dandy when I did everything locally. I basically implemented a linked
list to store and keep track of object handles and their associated
objects (certs/keys/etc). Now this may work for session objects, but I
don't think this will work for objects residing on the smart card.
QUESTION:
=========
What suggestions do you have for tracking/maintaining object handles
to object residing on the token?
Thanks,
Tim

i guess that you are not talking about Java libraries for accessing smart
cards and crypto tokens, e.g. PKCS#11 wrapper or PKCS#11 JCE provider. if
you actually implement a PKCS#11 module, the cryptoki mailing list may be a
better place to ask (http://www.rsasecurity.com/rsalabs/node.asp?id=2143).
