Accessing Hardware PKCS11 Token on a 64 Bit Machine

Question

So here\'s what I\'m trying to do. I have a hardware token with some certs on it and I\'m writing a Java application to try and access those certs. I have used the SunPKCS11

Answer 1

Assuming your {java.home} points to jre6, sunpkcs11.jar is in the {java.home}/lib/ext; If your {java.home} points to jdk1.6, sunpkcs11.jar is in the {java.home}/jre/lib/ext; I've tested it against the newly installed jdk and jre. Please verify your installation.

EDITED (summarising the comments)
In java 64-bit version pkcs11 is not available.

Answer 2

PKCS11 Support was not implemented because there was no way to test that library (somehow, whatever).

This has changed in Java 8, though. Since J8b49 a 64 bit Version is included. See: http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6880559
