Does NSS ever use C_CopyObject to copy symmetric keys if it needs to reference the same key for different sessions?

Does NSS ever use C_CopyObject to copy symmetric keys if it needs to reference the same key for different sessions?

0

No. This is never necessary. The PKCS #11 specification explicitly requires that symmetric keys must be visible to all sessions of the same application. NSS explicitly depends on this semantic without the use of C_CopyObject. If your module does not support this semantic, it will not work with NSS.
