How to get started with SoftHSM

I'm currently trying to run SoftHSM (on a Windows platform). The goal is to establish a communication channel between the client and the HSM server so that some data can be encrypted on the server side and sent back to the calling client.

I download one of these sites: https://www.opendnssec.org/download/

In addition, I followed the documentation indicated on this page: https://wiki.opendnssec.org/display/SoftHSMDOCS/SoftHSM+Documentation+Home - but in addition to creating a couple of slots, t managed to get everything right.

I created the following command to create slots:

softhsm --init-token --slot 0 --label "My token 1"

I am not sure how to go from here, I can not find useful information / tutorials on this topic. I guess I should start small and try to create a server application that communicates with SoftHSM ... I apologize for all the questions of n00b !!

If the installation was successful, there /usr/local/bin/softshmshould be a file libsofthsm.so.

This file contains the implementation crytoki api- and you can use it somehow / dll that comes with the hardwarepkcs#11
