  Greetings. I'm running NSS 3.11.4 and would like write / read ECDSA

 Try: -k ec

 Nope:

 # certutil -R -s "CN=ECDSA" -o ecdsareq.req -k ec
 certutil -k:  ec is not a recognized type.

 Other thoughts?

ECC is an optional feature of NSS.  NSS can be built with or without ECC.

Could you explain how? I have now built the FreeBSD port, which is pulled directly from ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/security/nss/releases/NSS_3_11_4_RTM/src/, and I still get the same error. There is nothing in the FreeBSD port Makefile that looks like it turns off ECC, and I see nothing in the tarball's Makefile that says anything about turning off or on ECC.

Any help would be appreciated.
