Yes. You can use the PKCS#11 functions to do this.
If you are using GemSAFE SDK(in 'C') from Gemplus, you can do the following
CK_BYTE Buffer[4096];
CK_CHAR szKeyId[64] = "Key";
CK_CHAR szLabel[] = "My ID";
CK_BBOOL bTrue = TRUE;
CK_OBJECT_CLASS cert_object_class = CKO_CERTIFICATE;
CK_CERTIFICATE_TYPE certType = CKC_X_509;
CK_ATTRIBUTE CertTemplate[] = {
{ CKA_CLASS, &cert_object_class, sizeof(CK_OBJECT_CLASS) },
{ CKA_TOKEN, &bTrue, sizeof(CK_BBOOL) },
{ CKA_CERTIFICATE_TYPE, &certType, sizeof(certType)},
{ CKA_ID, szKeyId, sizeof(szKeyId)-1 },
{ CKA_LABEL, szLabel, sizeof(szLabel)-1 },
{ CKA_VALUE, Buffer, sizeof(Buffer) },
{ CKA_SUBJECT, "(no subject)", 12 },
};
and find the object which matches your attributes.

As of now, you can develop only in 'C' using GemSAFE SDK. But there is a PKCS#11
bridge for Java, which you can get it from http://www.alphaworks.ibm.com. "I have
tried it, and it works like a charm". Sorry Jon Barber<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, for using
your lines ;->
When using this bridge, you can do the following
int[] attrtypes = {PKCS11Object.CLASS,
PKCS11Object.TOKEN,
PKCS11Object.CERTIFICATE_TYPE,
PKCS11Object.LABEL};
Object[] attrvalues = {PKCS11Object.CERTIFICATE, // Class = Certificate
Boolean.TRUE, // Token = True
PKCS11Object.X_509, // Certificate Type = X.509
new String("My ID") }; // Label = "My ID"
You can add the attributes as per your requirement. Once you are done with adding the
arrtibutes, find the object which match your given attributes.
>From where can i download it?
As mentioned above, http://www.alphaworks.ibm.com
>What functionalities it provides
>Any detailed samples and tutorials, if available
It has a couple of demo programs, and its API docs(HTML) which I guess would be enuf
if you know a bit of PKCS#11. But if you have the GemSAFE SDK Programming Guide(For
PKCS#11), that would solve almost all of your problems.
I had written a few programs using the bridge, and if you require please let me know.
I will try to send it to you.
