+S/MIME test certificates and messages
+=====================================
+
+This directory contains certificates and S/MIME test messages, which are
+generated by building NSS and executing a subset of the NSS test suite.
+
+The certificates will expire on the date listed in file expiration.txt
+
+The certificates must be refreshed around the expiration date.
+To do so, run the generate.sh script.
+
+Alternatively, join the #nss IRC channel and ask a member of the NSS
+team to execute the NSS test suite, and give you a copy of the contents
+of this directory:
+ tests_results/security/localhost.1/sharedb/smime/tb/
+
+(You only need the files having extensions .eml or .p12 or .pem .)
+
+The generate.sh script will automatically call local-gen.sh script,
+which generates additional test data, based on the updated NSS data.
+
+You may call local-gen.sh independently, if necessary, e.g. when adding
+new local tests.
