While testing chrome, we discovered that (a) keygen would soon not be 
supported:

  * https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/forum/#!topic/security-dev/pX5NbX0Xack

(b) although keygen is still supported, it has been disabled by default 
with a workaround provided to re-enable it:

  * https://support.quovadisglobal.com/kb/a470/deprecation-of-keygen-tag-in-chrome-chromium-browsers.aspx

Please review the attached patch which supplies a warning message and 
instructions on how to re-enable keygen
on Chrome browsers that support this:

  * PKI TRAC #2323 - Firefox Warning appears in EE page launched from
    within Chrome <https://fedorahosted.org/pki/ticket/2323>

Additionally, an attempt was made to identify the case when KeyGen would 
not be available on Firefox and Chrome.
