| 41 | The Network Security Services (<application>NSS</application>) package is
|
|---|
| 42 | a set of libraries designed to support cross-platform development of
|
|---|
| 43 | security-enabled client and server applications. Applications built with
|
|---|
| 44 | NSS can support SSL v2 and v3, TLS, PKCS #5, PKCS #7, PKCS #11, PKCS #12,
|
|---|
| 45 | S/MIME, X.509 v3 certificates, and other security standards. This is
|
|---|
| 46 | useful for implementing SSL and S/MIME or other Internet security
|
|---|
| 47 | standards into an application.

| 159 | - With NSS-3.53, there were 53,866 tests. The tests take an

|

| 162 | It was discovered that, when interrupting the tests, the test suite
|
|---|
| 163 | fails to spin down test servers that are run. This leads to an
|
|---|
| 164 | infinite loop in the tests where the test suite tries to kill a server
|
|---|
| 165 | that doesn't exist anymore because it pulls the wrong PID.
