**Network Security Services** (**NSS**) is a set of libraries designed to

support cross-platform development of security-enabled client and server

applications. Applications built with NSS can support SSL v3, TLS, PKCS #5,

PKCS #7, PKCS #11, PKCS #12, S/MIME, X.509 v3 certificates, and other

security standards.

NSS is available under the Mozilla Public License v2 (MPLv2).
