Doc Text:
.PKCS#11 devices not supporting RSA-PSS cannot be used with TLS 1.3 The TLS protocol version 1.3 requires RSA-PSS signatures, which are not supported by all PKCS#11 devices, such as hardware security modules (HSM) or smart cards. Currently, server applications using NSS do not check the PKCS#11 module capabilities before negotiating TLS 1.3. As a consequence, attempts to authenticate using PKCS#11 devices that do not support RSA-PSS fail. To work around this problem, use TLS 1.2 instead.
