OASIS Open

Please make four selections below to indicate whether the named PKCS #11 Candidate OASIS Standards should become OASIS Standards.

These PKCS #11 specifications define a platform-independent API to cryptographic tokens, such as hardware security modules and smart cards. The API itself is named "Cryptoki" (from "cryptographic token interface" and pronounced as "crypto-key").

- "Base Specification" defines data types, functions and other basic components of the PKCS #11 Cryptoki interface.
- "Profiles" is intended for developers and architects who wish to design systems and applications that conform to the PKCS #11 Cryptographic Token Interface standard.
- "Current Mechanisms" defines mechanisms that are anticipated for use with the current version of PKCS #11.
- "Historical Mechanisms" defines mechanisms for PKCS #11 that are no longer in general use.

Three Statements of Use were received from Cryptsoft, Information Security Corporation, and Utimaco [2].

This is a call to the Organizational Members of OASIS to consent or object to this approval. You are welcome to register your consent explicitly on the ballot; however your consent is assumed unless you register an objection [3]. To register an objection, you must:

1. Indicate your objection on this ballot, and

2. Provide a reason for your objection and/or a proposed remedy to the TC.

You may provide the reason in the comment box or by email to the Technical Committee on its comment mailing list or, if you are a member of the TC, to the TC's mailing list [3]. If you provide your reason by email, please indicate in the subject line that this is in regard to the Call for Consent. Note that failing to provide a reason and/or remedy may result in an objection being deemed invalid.
