Hello,

I am putting forth the problem of client authentication handling in
Chrome, as I understand it. Kindly correct me if this isn't correct.

I understand that SSL handshake fails when a server asks for the
client certificate. Currently there is no provision to extract the
PKCS#11 certificate of the client from a specified DB. The task
requires that the PKCS#11 certificate be extracted from the DB and
sent to the server.

Questions that arises here: how is the DB specified? Will it be a
specified path on the disk? Also, will the PKCS#11 be encrypted in the
DB? Hence, the application will have to decrypt it into plaintext and
then send it to the server.

More details on this is highly appreciated!

Thanks,
Smita
