Hi,
I'm planning to write PKCS#11 extension for PHP using OpenSC library.
PKCS#11 is a software API for accessing cryptographic hardware like
smart cards or HSMs.
OpenSC library is implementation of PKCS#11 for Firefox and Thunderbird.
Could someone tell me if ours finished work can be included in
official PHP release??
Regards,
Tom
It can be released on the PECL site but I doubt it would go in the default distribution.

Why not including this in the default distribution? It would be great to have PKCS#11 support in the
default PHP distribution!

Well it has to be developed and tested first. so into PECL it goes for that.
Then there is the more important fact that is requires LGPL code, so we wouldn't bundle the library. Leaving it only being enabled for those who have OpenSC installed.

Thats a good one, do you maybe know an other library that can be used so the code can be bundled to
get PKCS#11 support in PHP?

I don't know any other to deal with SC. There was a discussion in
openssl about that, a while back, maybe check their archives to see if
there is something new.
However, I'd to say it again: new extension must be developed first in
PECL. Rquest to be bundled or not can be done later, once it is
stable/proven good enough/used :).

To first develop new extensions in PECL is the way to go
