Proposal to remove SSL 2.0 support from NSS trunk (NSS 3.13)

2010-08-27 Thread Wan-Teh Chang
I propose that we remove SSL 2.0 support from the NSS trunk (NSS 3.13). SSL 2.0 is an old and insecure protocol. No products should be using SSL 2.0 today. But removing the SSL 2.0 code from NSS has one major benefit to the continual development of NSS's SSL library: it'll make the code base eas

How important is FIPS-140 compliance and PKCS#11 interoperability to Firefox, Chrome, etc.?

2010-08-27 Thread Brian Smith
In accepting patches to implement TLS 1.2 and/or AES-GCM cipher suites, is a (potentially-)FIPS-140-compliant implementation required? Or, would it be acceptable in the short-term to have an implementation that is known to be non-compliant and thus disabled in FIPS mode? The main issue regardin

Hi, I haven't hear any direct quotes but the coolkey folks may be interested as well. I agree, but not sure a new project is warranted. A subbranch of the nss codebase perhaps? No need to fragment the community just because a new architecture comes into play.
