This project is a result of the security devroom at FOSDEM, and will house the new p11-kit project as well as trust assertions work. We're using PKCS#11 as a standard to allow the various crypto libraries on the desktop (NSS, gnutls, openssl, etc.) to all provide a consistent experience by sharing the same certificates, keys and other objects.

Please let me know if you need anything else, or any further background information on the project.

Thanks in advance!
