Bug#537866: not as good as directly registering security modules, but...

[Martin-Éric Racine]

There is a Mozilla plugin (mozilla-esteid) that was packaged to
support Estonian ID cards whose sole purpose is to load the
onepin-opensc-pkcs11.so module :

https://launchpad.net/~esteid/+archive/ppa

Since most national ID cards use the same OpenSC module for basic
login purposes using PIN1, shouldn't it be possible to turn this into
a more generic Mozilla plugin that loads the above OpenSC module and
whose package Recommends any extra country-specific support package
necessary for e.g. digital signing using PIN2 as e.g.
browser-plugin-esteid-digidoc | browser-plugin-beid-digisign |
browser-plugin-fineid-mpollux-digisign etc.?

This of course doesn't solve Mozilla's lack of a security module
register, but it would already go a long way towards making national
ID card support in Mozilla products a lot more generic.
