> A software **Hardware Security Module** that compiles to a real Cryptoki (PKCS#11) shared object. Load it with `pkcs11-tool`, OpenSSL, or any PKCS#11 host the same way you would a real smartcard or HSM. It speaks the C ABI byte for byte, generates and stores keys, signs and encrypts, and keeps private key material sealed on disk and zeroized in RAM.

## Why PKCS#11 in Zig
PKCS#11 (Cryptoki) is the C-ABI standard that smartcards, YubiKeys, and cloud HSMs all speak. A conforming module is a `.so` that exports one function, `C_GetFunctionList`, returning a 68-entry table of function pointers in a *fixed canonical order*. Get one struct offset or one pointer slot wrong and the host loads garbage.
