The only hard issue I see is getting a PKCS #11 mechanism for CFB mode.
Once that exists it should be realitively easy to add such a mechanism.
The primary changes would be in softoken, pk11wrap, and possibly adding
an OID in util/secoid.[ch].

Nelson,
I completely agree with you about this not having to be a priority.
Code transparency is definitely important, ambivalent/outdated code can
cause the introduction of new bugs down the road, but it's eventually
up to the NSS maintainers/contributors to decide what has higher
priority. This

Thanks for your help. The problem has been solved by adding extern "C"

Glad to hear that's indeed the problem. All the NSS
headers should contain (the equivalent of)
#ifdef __cplusplus
extern "C" {
#endif
...
#ifdef __cplusplus
}

NSS 3.11.2 also enforces the FIPS password "quality" requirements.

Neither RFC2511 or PKCS10 (Certificate Request specifications) mention
the use of SPKAC. I'm pretty sure that SPKAC doesn't fit within PKCS10
but I've only cursorily looked at RFC2511 so I'm not positive that a
SPKAC couldn't be hammered in there somewhere. I know that many toolkits

Dear Kai,
I think I misunderstood your complaint a bit.
Apparently Bob and Nelson think I'm wrong as well.
So here we go again...
Serial number + Issuer MUST indeed be unique within a CA.
Therefore the following was interpreted as incorrect:
Issuer: Root
Serial: 1
Subject: Root
Issuer: Root
Ser

The requirement is unique combination of (Issuer NAME, Serial Number).
