I am pretty much a beginner... So could you please elaborate on that experiment you mentioned.

As I recall, there are two ways to get mozilla to generate one or more key pairs and a corresponding number of requests for a signed cert. They are: 1. The <KEYGEN> tag in an html page, and 2. The generateCRMFRequest() javascript method in an html page.

The KEYGEN tag will generate a PKCS10 CSR, IIRC.
The generateCRMFRequest() javascript method will generate CRMF.

I do not know what versions of mozilla support KEYGEN, and

Either way, you test it by setting up a web page and visiting that
web page with the browser.  You probably don't even need a server,
and can use a file:// URL to test the page.

The KEYGEN tag is documented at http://wp.netscape.com/eng/security/comm4-keygen.html

This link will help you find documentation on it.

This is ALL I know about this subject.
