Hi Michael, I'm running a potentially "combinable" project: http://webpki.org/papers/keygen2/keygen-all-protocol-steps.html Although PKCS #12 is cool, it is hardly for the masses and generateCRMFRequest is a bit on the primitive side since it for example doesn't allow issuers to set PIN policies.
A difficulty I have found out during the "journey" is that an on-line provisioning scheme of the kind I'm working with, also puts new requirements on the keystore, otherwise it won't deliver. Is your intention providing a PKCS #11 bridge between the KDE Wallet and FireFox? I'm personally consider going one step further since I want PKI and OTP to reuse the Microsoft Information Card GUI. Although not yet a reality it *seems* that it is possible (and practical as well) creating a unified credential selector.

Other people involved in this project are the gnome keyring developer and developers of other free browsers. What got this project started were various user requests for having one central password storage/ management facility on their desktop. The system's general architecture will be quite similar to what kwallet/keyring offer nowadays, with a symmetrically encrypted storage and a client/server architecture. There hasn't been anything ironed out yet and I'd like to invite developers of the various mozilla projects to join and voice their opinion about what they'd want such a system to be to make use of it as well. Currently the project creation request resides in the freedesktop.org bugtracker: http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16581 Please CC me on replies as I'm currently not subscribed to this list.
