What are “Generic Crypto Svcs” (the first item listed when you click the View/Edit button for the NSS Internal PKCS #11 Module under Security Devices under Options/Security in Firefox)?

Generic Crypto Svcs are the services that NSS uses to do its basic cryptography (RSA encryption with public keys, hashing, AES, DES, RC4, RC2, and so on).Other PKCS #11 modules can supply implementations of these functions, and NSS uses those versions under certain conditions. However, these are not the services NSS calls to get to other PKCS #11 modules, which show up separately under Cryptographic Modules.
