[Pki-users] ECC entity certificate signing and Dogtag

[Christina Fu]

Hi Steven,
NSS softtoken provides ECC on F20 out of box 
(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1019244 ).

During installation, you just want to make sure that you select the 
right option accordingly.

On the client side, the current firefox version supports CRMF key gen 
with EC.  You can try it on one of the enrollment profiles at the EE port.
 From the CLI, certutil works well.    You can do something like the 
following to get PKCS#10:
certutil -d . -R  -k ec -q nistp256 -s "CN=test2014" -a -o req.test2014
