More clues?

I got that error trying to do a keygen myself when the security database didn't have a master password set.

You can change the password using modutil if you think this might be your problem.

Well, it seems to be part of the problem; the error message seems to be another part.

When I did that, I got different results for the following than for the rest:
nistp256
nistp384
nistp521
secp256r1
secp384r1
secp521r1
In those, I get "certutil: signing of data failed: security library: invalid algorithm.". For the rest, I get ": An I/O error occurred during security authorization."

I take that to mean that the six listed above are the "real" algorithms and the others are not. However, I still can't get a signature. More clues would be helpful.

And, yes, I am volunteering to write all this up for the web page and so on after I am successful.
