[Mono-dev] Adding privatekey support to X509Store

[Pablo Ruiz]

Hi Vladimir,

I didnt knew about this movements towards NSS but they look great, specially
the
part stating that NSS's FIPS 140 certification can be extended to the final
product
(if with some rules are taken into account). I'll take a look at NSS, as
this might be a
great fit for my proposal..

Greets.
