-------- Original Message -------- Subject: Chrome: From NSS to OpenSSL Date: Mon, 27 Jan 2014 10:28:51 -0800 Newsgroups: mozilla.dev.tech.crypto Draft Design Doc posted by Ryan Sleevi regarding Chrome migrating from NSS to OpenSSL: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ML11ZyyMpnAr6clIAwWrXD53pQgNR-DppMYwt9XvE6s/edit?pli=1 "Switching to OpenSSL, however, has the opportunity to bring significant performance and stability advantages to iOS, Mac, Windows, and ChromeOS immediately out of the gate. Switching Linux to use OpenSSL will take longer, due to the desire to continue to support PKCS#11-based smart card authentication, which will require more work. The biggest risk/cost to such a switch is no longer being able to help Firefox benefit from these efforts, nor benefiting from Firefox’s efforts in these areas."
