Description of problem: Currently NSS does not have SMIME support for ECC certificates. Having this support would allow the creation of SMIME encrypted and signed emails using products such as Thunderbird. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): latest How reproducible: Every time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Attempt to create a signed and encrypted email in TBird with an ECC cert Actual results: The process will fail, most notably when trying to select a suitable ECC certificate for encryption. Expected results: We should be able to create signed and encrypted emails with TBird or other NSS supported email clients. Especially support for ECC smart cards is desirable. Additional info: Currently there exists a collection of 3rd party community patches that suports this functionality. I have myself tested these and gotten themt o work. I imagine the thrust of this bug would be to review and deploy some combination of these patches.
Marking as a duplicate of bug 752980 which should have fixed this issue - although we no longer ship Thunderbird in RHEL 7, support for this would have to be confirmed using NSS command line utilities, or the evolution mail client. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 752980 ***
