I don't think neither the KEYGEN tag nor the window.crypto objects can
be used to generate keys in tokens
If yes...how can it be done....
I just wanted to start a new thread..........for the same.
If there is a token installed, Seamonkey/Firefox/Mozilla will prompt the user where the keys should be generated, so yes both KEYGEN and window.crypto can generate keys in a token, though under user control, not program control.

(Requirements for keygen in token:
General:
  1) token needs to be R/W.
  2) token needs to support the requested key type.
Token PKCS #11 module specific.
1) token needs to support C_CreateObject --- or token needs to support unwrap of a Private Key. For earlier versions, there were bugs if the tokens didn't also support the PBE mechanism. This should be fixed in later release (Mozilla 1.8/Firefox 2.0).)
