I know this is an old thread but if anyone is interested we have built : https://github.com/PeculiarVentures/node-webcrypto-p11 and https://github.com/PeculiarVentures/graphene to make accessing HSMs within node easy.
For the certificate related things (where one might use Forge) consider looking at pkijs.com. Samuel, I also have a CA in node if your interested in learning more ping me.
