* NSSTrustDomain

* A trust domain will generally have one or more cryptographic modules
* open; these modules perform the cryptographic operations, and
* provide the basic "root" trust information from which the trust in
* a specific certificate or key depends.
*
* A client program, or a simple server, would typically have one
* trust domain. A server supporting multiple "virtual servers" might
* have a separate trust domain for each virtual server. The separate
* trust domains might share some modules (e.g., a hardware crypto
* accelerator) but not others (e.g., the tokens storing the different
* servers' private keys, or the databases with each server's trusted
* root certificates).

* NSSCryptoContext
*
* A Crypto Context is a short-term, "helper" object which is used

* operation may be the creation of a signed message, the use of an
* TLS socket connection, etc. Each crypto context is "in" a
* specific trust domain, and it may have associated with it a
* distinguished certificate, public key, private key, and/or
* symmetric key. It can also temporarily hold and use temporary
* data (e.g. intermediate certificates) which is not stored
* permanently in the trust domain.
*
* In OO terms, this interface inherits interfaces from the trust
* domain, the certificates, and the keys. It also provides
* streaming crypto operations.
*
* This object descends from the "temporary database" concept in the
* old code, but it has changed a lot as a result of what we've
* learned.

* If we were to create a "range" object, with two times for
* Not Before and Not After, we would have an obvious place for
* the somewhat arbitrary logic involved in comparing them.
