| 42 | The Network Security Services (<application>NSS</application>) package is
|
|---|
| 43 | a set of libraries designed to support cross-platform development of
|
|---|
| 44 | security-enabled client and server applications. Applications built with
|
|---|
| 45 | NSS can support SSL v2 and v3, TLS, PKCS #5, PKCS #7, PKCS #11, PKCS #12,
|
|---|
| 46 | S/MIME, X.509 v3 certificates, and other security standards. This is
|
|---|
| 47 | useful for implementing SSL and S/MIME or other Internet security
|
|---|
| 48 | standards into an application.
