Eddy, You are right in hat NSS is really needed. At least 10M people use PKI in the EU.
What doesn't work is the concept of you own universal security device outside of an elite of developers and security geeks. For that concept to scale you need something else like: http://webpki.org/keygen2.pdf Still NSS will be in the bottom, I presume.

For both categories above it's important that there is smart card support in NSS. The later group can outnumber the rest (casual home users) in a very short time. -- Regards Signer: Eddy Nigg, StartCom Ltd. <http://www.startcom.org> Jabber: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <xmpp:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Blog: Join the Revolution! <http://blog.startcom.org> Phone: +1.213.341.0390 _______________________________________________ dev-tech-crypto mailing list dev-tech-crypto@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-tech-crypto _______________________________________________ dev-tech-crypto mailing list dev-tech-crypto@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-tech-crypto
