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.

For detailed information on standards supported, see Overview of NSS. For a list of frequently asked questions, see the FAQ.

NSS is available under the Mozilla Public License. For information on downloading NSS releases as tar files, see Download PKI Source.

If you're a developer and would like to contribute to NSS, you might want to read the documents highlevel overview of internal details of NSS and getting started with NSS.
