hi,

currently in my application I am opening a new session for each operation:
- Login to the HSM
- Get the active slot
- Open a session with a token from that slot
- Do the operation f.e. encryption
- Close the session

I am wondering if this is the best way how to do it.

An alternative would be to 
- Login to the HSM only once + get active slot only once
- Open a session with a token from that slot + cache the session
- Reuse the cached session for each operation (encryption, decryption, signing)

But I also have to initialize the session different per operation type f.e. call "session.EncryptInit(...)" if I want to do encryption operations.
So in general - does it make sense to cache session or should one open a new session for each operation?
