It is understandable that the Linux community is looking with a
certain envy on Microsoft's and Apple's united crypto architectures.

I'm personally unconvinced that there is much point in trying to
mimic these schemes due to the fact that credit-card-shaped
smart cards still are not HW-wise supported by more than a
fraction of all consumer computers.

It is quite possible that the introduction of trusted HW in
mobile phones and connections via NFC will happen faster
which creates an entirely new situation on PCs: There is a
risk that the NSS/PKCS #11/CAPI style of interfacing a
roaming credential won't stand the litmus test:

But of course, this is just a speculation at this stage...
