This text is a collection of observations and complaints about the state of PKI in general, PKCS#11 in particular, and about some software products. Let me preface that the provider of the cryptotoken (and software) that this text is based on has three things in their favor: 1. Their products work, 2. Their support is good, 3. Their products work.
It cannot be stressed enough that spending lots of money on crypto hardware is no guarantee whatsoever that what you get works, or works better, or is better supported.
