Description:

An Apache 2.0 module for implementing crypto using the Mozilla NSS crypto
libraries. This supports SSLv3/TLSv1 including support for client certificate
authentication. NSS provides web applications with a FIPS 140 certified crypto
provider and support for a full range of PKCS11 devices.

mod_nss is an SSL provider derived from the mod_ssl module for the Apache web
server that uses the Network Security Services (NSS) libraries. We started with
mod_ssl and replaced the OpenSSL calls with NSS calls.

The mod_ssl package was created in April 1998 by Ralf S. Engelschall and was
originally derived from the Apache-SSL package developed by Ben Laurie. It is
licensed under the Apache 2.0 license.
