What functionality is implemented by the Mozilla crypto code released so far? When will Mozilla get full support for SSL and S/MIME?
The Mozilla crypto code will shortly include a full implementation of the RSA and other cryptographic algorithms; that implementation will form the basis of a complete open source SSL implementation for Mozilla. S/MIME support is also under development, but may not be available in Mozilla until after the 1.0 release. Version 3.1 of the Network Security Services library will include a complete open source implementation of the cryptographic algorithms needed for Mozilla SSL support, including the RSA public key algorithm (now in the public domain). NSS 3.1 will be available in beta form in September 2000, with the final release to follow in October 2000. NSS 3.1 will be used in the 1.3 release of PSM, which will provide a complete open source implementation of SSL for Mozilla. PSM 1.3 will also provide support for Mozilla users to obtain personal digital certificates and perform other PKI-related functions. Note that due to various implementation issues, PSM support for Mozilla on the M
