Eddy,
You are right in hat NSS is really needed. At least 10M people use
PKI in the EU.
What doesn't work is the concept of you own universal security device
outside of an elite of developers and security geeks. For that concept
to scale you need something else like: http://webpki.org/keygen2.pdf
Still NSS will be in the bottom, I presume.

Hi Nelson,

No other success stories?
Are there really no other readers of this list using their own personal
crypto devices for reading/writing signed and/or encrypted email?
From my experience there are two types of users which use smart
cards/tokens:
1.) Developers, Geeks and very security minded people.
2.) Corporates and Countries/States.
Maybe NSS is way overkill for the needs of mozilla users?
I don't think so! For both categories above it's important that there is
smart card support in NSS. The later group can outnumber the rest
(casual home users) in a very short time.
