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.
