Tough nut, but interesting project if you can pull out the key. Anybody 
on this list understand Netscape's key3.db file well enough to pull out 
the private key associated w/ a client cert stored in cert7.db?

I think once you grab the key it should be relatively straightforward 
(well, as straightforward as this stuff ever gets) to use the key pair 
to encrypt/decrypt like PGP. 


Angus and I had the following exchange:

angus>>them if possible.
