7.1.3 Using a smart card with TLS

This example will demonstrate how to load keys and certificates from a smart-card or any other PKCS #11 token, and use it in a TLS connection. The difference between this and the Client example with X.509 certificate support is that the client keys are provided as PKCS #11 URIs instead of files.
