PKCS #11 + gnutls

[Nikos Mavrogiannopoulos]

Hello,

The just-released gnutls 2.12.0 includes support for security
modules such as smart-cards via the PKCS #11 API. More
details are available at:
http://www.gnu.org/software/gnutls/manual/html_node/PKCS-_002311-tokens.html#PKCS-_002311-tokens

It should be noted however that PKCS #11 is an old
API with few problems. If you expect the PKCS #11 modules
to be used by multiple crypto libraries, we suggest that you
use the intermediate module p11-kit. It is available at:
http://p11-glue.freedesktop.org/


regards,
Nikos

PS. The 2.12.0 release contains the wrong (or better no) version
number in the NEWS file. It is a minor issue thus no release is
scheduled for that.
