I don't believe this is the best option. Since java 1.5, there is a 
pkcs#11 base JCE included by default in the SUN JVM. It works with NSS, 
if you configure correctly some compatibility options :
http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/guides/security/p11guide.html#NSS

So the best choice would be to rely on that instead, and see if it's 
possible to have the sun java rpm package preconfigured correctly to use 
it and to make it the default JCE.
