NSS in Firefox OS

[Anders Rundgren]

I've heard about the Firefox OS but haven't been able to find much information 
about the internals, at least not the crypto-part.

Anyway, I guess that Firefox OS uses NSS?
Is it still is based on the idea that key access is done in the application 
context rather than through a service?

B2G (Firefox OS) does use NSS. Nothing has changed regarding the process 
separation between Gecko and the private key material.

However, B2G uses a process separation model where the Gecko parent (chrome) 
process is separated from the web content.
