Error CKR_GENERAL_ERROR Traceback (most recent call last): File "encrypt_decr.py", line 40, in dec = session.decrypt(privKey, enc) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/PyKCS11/init.py", line 1191, in decrypt raise PyKCS11Error(rv) PyKCS11.PyKCS11Error: CKR_GENERAL_ERROR (0x00000005)

I can't reproduce your problem.

$ export PYKCS11LIB=/usr/local/lib/softhsm/libsofthsm2.so
$ ./encrypt.py 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./encrypt.py", line 37, in <module>
    pubKey = session.findObjects([(CKA_CLASS, CKO_PUBLIC_KEY)])[0]
IndexError: list index out of range

Of course I need to generate an RSA key pair first.

$ ./generate.py 
$ ./encrypt.py
