'''Access to certificate and key databases''': Only one of the two modes of operation may have the certificate and key databases open at any time. This is enforced by the <code>FC_Initialize</code> and <code>NSC_Initialize</code> functions. When a mode of operation opens the databases, it also causes the other mode (the ''peer'') to close the databases. In the diagram below this is represented by a toggle switch.
