[1]    Decrypt existing document                             Error
[2]    Encrypt document                                      Fail
[3]    Decrypt new document                                  Error


[1] is failing because the test is doing decryption -
it is decrypting the EncryptedKey using the rsa private
key - which is read from xml. This produces a symmetric key,
which is then used for decrypting the EncryptedData.
For [1], we should read the private key from pkcs12 file.

[2] is failing because NSS refuses to do PADDING for RSA
encryption :(. I am not able to find any way to specify
padding to NSS. I'll check with the NSS team.

[3] is failing because [2] did not produce a file to be
decrypted.

Will keep you posted.

thanks,
