Do you have any other documentation for softoken or the ckfw?
Please tell me where i can find it or send it to me via email.

After reading the softoken source code for plenty of hours ;-)
i am just wondering why the softoken seems to need the
secmod.db? 
Its quite clear to me that the softoken needs a key.db
and cert.db for storing the keys and certificates persistently.
But the secmod.db is managing all pkcs#11 modules available
to NSS? So i thought softoken is just one of these modules
registered in the secmod.db?
For which purpose does softoken need the secmod.db?

To make my goals more understandable:
I am using a java crypto device which i want to make
available to mozilla and other apps through a PKCS#11 module. 
This crypto device only supports private key
storage and some RSA based private key crypto operations, so i
want to integrate it into the pkcs#11 softoken by
just directing all private key retrieval and private
key crypto functions of softoken to my java crypto devices.
Hope this is possible with softoken.

I read something in the NSS-API-Guidlines of a
"Lowkey" and "Crypto" layer. But unfortunaly there
is not that much informations about these layers.
Are there any docs regardings these two layers or softoken?
Maybe some "internal" developer docs?

Thanks in advance
