With the rapid development of informationization and information security technology,PKCS#11 standard is increasingly applied. Therefore,it is necessary to research the extensibility of PKCS#11 library. This paper gives a brief introduction of PKCS#11 standard,analyzes the general model and logical structure of Cryptoki,and discusses the defects of non-hierarchical design in the implementation of PKCS#11 library. Aiming at the defects of non- hierarchical design,a method for realizing the easily-extensible PKCS#11 library based on hierarchical design idea is proposed,and the noticeable notable things in the design and implementation are also pointed out. Experiment indicates that this PKCS#11 library implemented in hierarchical design mode is of excellent extensibility.
