35 | The Network Security Services (<application>NSS</application>) package is
|
---|
36 | a set of libraries designed to support cross-platform development of
|
---|
37 | security-enabled client and server applications. Applications built with
|
---|
38 | NSS can support SSL v2 and v3, TLS, PKCS #5, PKCS #7, PKCS #11, PKCS #12,
|
---|
39 | S/MIME, X.509 v3 certificates, and other security standards. This is
|
---|
40 | useful for implementing SSL and S/MIME or other Internet security
|
---|
41 | standards into an application.
