I have been learning about PKCS#11 and now I want to create some applications using it in C. Now I have the following question,

1) I think the shared library for a token comes with vendor of the token, Am I right?

2) Which open source library for PKCS#11 (in C) I can use if I have a token and not the its shared library?

Yes in most cases it does.

2) Which open source library for PKCS#11 (in C) I can use if I have a token and not the its shared library?

OpenSC project ships PKCS#11 library which supports several cards and tokens.
