What you need to bring
During the workshop you will have access to the cryptech platform using a PKCS11 interface (reviewing PKCS11 might be a good way to prepare for the workshop). We will use OpenDNSSEC (using PKCS11) as a reference use case but you are encouraged to think about other applications that use PKCS11 you want to test. We will be there to help and will do our best to fix stuff that breaks along the way.
Bring a laptop with 2 USB 2.0 ports free (or a USB hub) running either MacOS or Debian Linux. We will provide client PKCS11 software packages for Debian Jessie and Ubuntu Xenial, and Homebrew for MacOS. You will use one USB port for PKCS11 and one USB port for admin CLI access to the cryptech device.
For admin access you will find useful some form of serial console application capable of handling 921600 bps line speed.
