TCG-enabled PKCS #11 CSP (TPKCS #11)
Applications and platforms require key and certificate management services to provide a complete security solution. One of the most common interfaces to obtain these services is the Public Key Cryptography Standard #11 (PKCS #11) defined by RSA Security and vetted throughout the security industry. The NTRU TCG-enabled PKCS #11 CSP (TPKCS #11) allows applications to access these security features in the standard PKCS #11 manner, while additionally obtaining the advantage of the hardware security of the TPM. Solutions that have historically relied on software security, or on the security of smart cards or other hardware security tokens can now benefit from the built-in hardware security of the TPM without requiring the purchase of expensive and complicated additional hardware. The TPKCS #11 is operational on both Linux and Windows platforms and supports all standard 1.1b and 1.2 TPMs.
