Open Source Mozilla Crypto Released

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the lets-get-it-on dept.

lunatik17 writes "NSS 3.1 Beta 1 has been released, including a new implementation of the RSA algorithm. This release provides, for the first time, a complete open-source implementation of the Netscape crypto libraries, and will be used in a future version of Personal Security Manager for Mozilla." This is the only significant feature I've found lacking in Mozilla.

  1. You can use SSL pages in Mozilla builds! by wct · · Score: 5


    I'm surprised no one's mentioned that you already can read SSL pages in Mozilla, by installing the Personal Security Manager. It's an XP thingy, so you just need to start Mozilla with write privileges, then visit the website:

    http://docs.iplanet.com/docs/manuals/psm/psm-moz illa/index.html

    and click on the Install Personal Security Manager. Then you can do all your on-line banking and shopping and stuff. I've tried it on the latest nightly build and it works a charm.
