Hi,
I think it would be a nice thing if the NSS team people would be talking
a bit from time to time about what in store for NSS in this group.
For example, there's a number of checking recently that means we're very
near of having Elliptic Curves fully working and enabled by default in
Mozilla/NSS.
But I wonder for when it's planned to enable it by default in the
nightlies ? At the moment it seems youneed to download a special build
that kaie makes available here
http://ecc.fedora.redhat.com/mozilla-clients-with-EC-crypto-enabled/.
Also, a big news is that client side support for server name indication
has slipped inside the ECC/TLS patch that has been checked in in bug
236245. There's a placeholder available in the code to do something when
receiving that extension on the server side.
So server name indication should be available in the recent nightlies
(if they do include that change from NSS_3_11_BRANCH which is still to
check).
Also, what if we'd heard a little about libpkix someday ?
Hum, you know what ? I've just found out that if you want that sort of
information you must check what WTC writes here :
http://wiki.mozilla.org/NSS:Roadmap
BTW I had a talk today with some people who told me Firefox "does not
support dual certificates" and that the NSS people "were not interested
in solving that", I'll get detailed information about what this exactly
refers to and I'll come back about it.
