[Cryptography-dev] Python HSM Module

[Paul Kehrer]

Hi Benton,

This mailing list is meant for discussion of the development of PyCA/cryptography (https://github.com/pyca/cryptography) and also other projects under the Python Cryptographic Authority (https://github.com/pyca).

Our interest primarily lies with implementing PKCS11 using cryptography's backend interfaces (https://cryptography.io/en/latest/hazmat/backends/interfaces/) and not in a separate library. That said, a well-written PKCS11 interface would likely be useful to people who aren't comfortable with the C FFI options in Python.

Hello everyone,

 

I have a HSM (Hardware Security Module) Python library that supports direct access to HSMs.  I developed the library and companion C code for internal use at my company specially for use with SafeNet HSMs but the library can work with any PKCS#11 API compliant HSM.  I am going through our internal procedures to get the code open sourced.  One of the requirements before I can do that is collect information on a need or interest in such a library to the Python community.  I am not sure if this mailer is the right place and if not maybe someone can direct me elsewhere.  I can provide more information if this is indeed the best place to discuss it.

 

Thanks,

 

Benton Stark
