How to access USB Tokens from Java code

843811May 30 2007 — edited Jun 8 2007

Hi,

I need to develop an application which one of its requirements is the use of USB Tokens for storing certificates & private keys. USB should be accesed from Java code (actually, an applet downloaded from my site).

I've read all these USB token devices are PKCS11 compliant and I know there are several PKCS11 implementations (i.e. IAIK) but I wonder if I need any other component, a kind of hardware provider driver or similar, something that could work as bridge between the hardware and the Java PKCS11 layer.

Does anybody know how does it work? Any idea/suggestion/advice would be really appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Jorge Ortiz
