Thank you for your quick response :-)

Is there anyway to export just the privatekey as binary?


By itself?  In the clear?
That's exactly what NSS is trying to avoid.
me to ;-)

I'm building a small CA and I want to have an escrow for the crypto certificates.
My plan was to save the key in a separate db-table along with
key properties and encrypt it. But if I could get the key it will still be possible.


It is possible with a PKCS12 file. Store that.

Maybe I should rethink... I could create a special cert8.db and key3.db and store the escrow there... But what about the preformance when hitting 10000+ certs and keys? Is the database built with index? I guess I must try to know...


(even if I'd like to use common standards when I can.)


PKCS12 is a much more common standard than PKCS8.
