Eclipse KeyPont

Eclipse KeyPont simplifies the integration of HSM-backed keys, PKCS #11 tokens, JOSE protocols, and future key-management technologies into Go applications through a set of idiomatic Go libraries.

Eclipse KeyPont  provides Go libraries, examples, and supporting tools for cryptographic-token integration, protected-key usage, and cryptographic protocol support.

The project includes idiomatic Go APIs and helper libraries for integrating Go applications with external cryptographic standards and services, including PKCS #11, JOSE, and future key-management protocols such as KMIP. It also includes tests, examples, documentation, and interoperability support that help developers use protected keys safely and consistently from Go applications.

The project does not define new cryptographic standards, create new cryptographic algorithms, provide hardware firmware, or replace Go’s standard cryptography packages. Instead, it builds on Go’s standard interfaces and implements or integrates with existing standards and protocols.

Pont is the French word for Bridge, meaning KeyPont is a bridge, an interface, for crypto keys and software that need to consume them.
