[http://www.itl.nist.gov/fipspubs/fip186.htm Digital Signature Standard (DSS) ] is used as the approved authentication
technique for the integrity test of the software component. When the softokn library (libsoftokn3/softokn3) is built a DSA signature checksum is
generated and stored in a file libsoftokn3.chk/softokn3.chk. When the module is in FIPS mode, at initialization the softoken computes its checksum and compares it with the value in libsoftokn3.chk/softokn3.chk.
[http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/pki/nss/fips/nss-source/mozilla/security/nss/lib/softoken/fipstokn.c.dep.html#FC_Initialize    FC_Initialize ] calls [http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/pki/nss/fips/nss-source/mozilla/security/nss/lib/softoken/pkcs11.c.dep.html#nsc_CommonInitialize nsc_CommonInitialize ] and then the DSS signature is check before the module
is allowed to load.
