python-nss is a Python binding for NSS (Network Security Services)
|
|
and NSPR (Netscape Portable Runtime). NSS provides cryptography
|
|
services supporting SSL, TLS, PKI, PKIX, X509, PKCS*, etc. NSS is
|
|
an alternative to OpenSSL and used extensively by major software
|
|
projects. NSS is FIPS-140 certified.
|
|
|
|
NSS is built upon NSPR because NSPR provides an abstraction of
|
|
common operating system services, particularly in the areas of
|
|
networking and process management. Python also provides an abstraction
|
|
of common operating system services but because NSS and NSPR are
|
|
tightly bound, python-nss exposes elements of NSPR.
