Description :
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 v2
and v3, TLS, PKCS #5, PKCS #7, PKCS #11, PKCS #12, S/MIME, X.509
v3 certificates, and other security standards.

Update Information:

This update fixes import problems experienced by applications which initialize
nss using the system-wide nss database as per the guidelines in
https://wiki.mozilla.org/NSS_Shared_DB_And_LINUX. Fixes failures to load the PEM
module when the nss-sisinit module is enabled. Adds supports for PKCS #8 encoded
PEM RSA private keys in the PEM module.
