I think I'm in largely the same situation as Jana is -- my team
needed something to be able to make openssl be able to do crypto
operations against keys stored in a networked HSM.

Specifically the openssl engine that is part of opensc, is the
piece of opensc that we're using. It works in conjunction with (not
instead of) the vendor's pkcs11 library.

I assume the libCryptoki2_64.so you mention, is what Jana is going
to have to put in as the MODULE_PATH parameter for the opensc
openssl engine.
