I've got the issue with Google Chrome not recognizing any of SSL/TSL certificates as trusted. When I look into certificate checksums it's renders all bytes of it as NULL bytes. I'm aware Google Chrome is proprietary but it depends on ubuntu provided libnss3-package. And libnss provides very nigmatic error code -8018:
`/opt/google/chrome$ google-chrome

When trying to enter this particular error code into search engine nothing is found. So my suggestion with this bug is to make it more transparent by providing information to what happened - it seems other bug codes has better error messages. Another issue is if failing to initialize PKCS11 token should make whole SSL/TLS crypto invalid ? I'm not sure if this is libnss or Google Chrome issue but it behaves differently in Chromium browser with same libnss so I assume either of two is doing better - it's worth to review this from security perspective.
