Hi all,

In our (mozilla/xulrunner-based) application, we're trying to set up a
secure connection to a server that requires a client certificate.

Rather than the normal case of a client certificate belonging to the
user, and just added to the certificate store, we want to have a
certificate that nominally belongs to the application, and is secret
from the user (strange, but that's what I'm stuck with).

The specific requirements are that we not store it unencrypted in the
filesystem - and simply setting a password on the key db isn't an
option, as that would interfere with the _user's_ use of the key db
for any of their certificates, and that it must not be available in
the UI (so we want to somehow hide it from the 'View Certificates' UI
- or at least not be exportable from there).

Can anyone suggest an approach to implementing this?

Thanks,

Mike Smith
