Current NSS documentation can be found here: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Projects/NSS However the amount of actual API documentation is minimal. The technical notes and sample code may be your best bet, they illustrate how to perform a number of frequently needed tasks. As for per function documentation some of the header files have comments for some of the functions. In addition to the technical notes and sample code on the web you can peruse the source code to see how things are called, the utilities (e.g. certutil, etc.) are a good starting point. Learning to use NSS is mostly a matter of browsing the NSS source code. It would benefit NSS adoption if there was better documentation but for what it's worth this seems to be a hallmark of crypto libraries, openssl, kerberos, GSSAPI, etc. are all equally opaque. :-( HTH, John -- dev-tech-crypto mailing list dev-tech-crypto@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-tech-crypto
