I know a vendor of a product that includes tokens, pkcs#11 modules for
Windows and Linux, and CA web site software, which product claims to have
end-to-end (CA to token) security and (IIRC) Issuer-specified or issuer
policy controlled PINs.  IINM, it is claimed that all communication with
the token is done through the PKCS#11 module.  That vendor has at least
one representative who participates occasionally here.  Perhaps he can
speak to how that product accomplishes what it does, and/or correct my
misperceptions about the product, Bob.
