You can use the PKCS #11 library to build PKCS #11-compatible applications and use the hardware security module (HSM) client to perform cryptographic operations. The PKCS #11 library is supported only on Linux operating systems.
Prerequisites
Your hardware security module (HSM) is in the Initializing state, and a crypto user (CU) is created. For more information, see Getting started with Cloud Hardware Security Module.
An HSM client (hsm_proxy) is started. For more information, see Getting started with Cloud Hardware Security Module.
