Using SSL certificates from a TPM is fairly trivial in OpenSSL too. Just
install the openssl-tpm-engine package and it's a few lines of code to
initialise that engine in your application (and curl has callbacks which
let you do it at the appropriate time).

For NSS, there's theoretically a PKCS#12 plugin which can use the TPM,
but it relies on a whole stack of other weird stuff we don't ship,
including more system dæmons, and which I haven't been able to get
working.

Then there's the DTLS protocol, which neither NSS or GNUTLS support at
all...

I actually ditched libcurl and wrote my own http code, cursing all the
time as I did it, because of the switch to NSS.
