Re: Who is using NSS in their projects?
There are lots of applications that use NSS but use no other aspect of mozilla technologies. Perhaps you should have a separate list of these. I'd recommend setting up a page somewhere, perhaps on MDC, where people can easily add to a list of known NSS users. For example, I monitor the XULRunner Hall of Fame page and use that as input for the Featured Mozilla-based Applications page. https://developer.mozilla.org/en/XULRunner_Hall_of_Fame I'm happy to promote the more interesting uses of Mozilla technology, but people much more familiar with the various bits of code in the repository need to keep track of who is doing what.

RedHat is doing this for RedHat Linux. I'm sure you will find info on RedHat's web site. I don't know how much (if any) this will affect other distro's. NSS is part of the LSB (Linux Software Base or Linux System Base), which means that you can count on it being in all Linux distros, but the important question (to me) is whether the system programs themselves will rely on it for their crypto security. I believe the answer will be yes for RH Linux. I'm not as optimistic for the other distros. ___ dev-security mailing list dev-security@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-security

Perhaps you should have a separate list of these. For example, of the network server software products offered by Sun Microsystems that are not written in Java, most use NSS. AOL Instant Messenger used NSS for years, and recent versions still include the NSS libraries, but don't seem to actually use them. I had seen references to Apache using NSS in mod_nss so I included it as a featured application and then blogged about it. In the comments on that post though, there were questions if Apache was really using NSS or not. Apache has a plug-in architecture. There are many plug-ins for it. Some are co-developed by the Apache developers themselves and are distributed along with Apache. Others are developed independently and distributed independently (or distributed together with Apache in downstream distros). mod_nss is one of the latter. There are many others. I'd also like to promote other NSS users, so if there's a list somewhere like the XULRunner Hall of Fame or if anyone wants to just post here with some examples, that would be great. I'm cross posting this in mozilla.dev.tech.crypto, which is where most developers who use NSS hang out. Maybe some of them will volunteer info about their products that use NSS. ___ dev-security mailing list dev-security@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-security

Re: Who is using NSS in their projects?
You obviously forgot to include Google Chrome in the list !! ;-) Google Chrome isn't on the featured list, but I also maintain a longer list of all known users of Mozilla technologies that does include Chrome: https://developer.mozilla.org/en/List_of_Mozilla-Based_Applications I felt that it would be very confusing to feature Chrome since most people would probably assume it was a reference to the rendering engine. Chrome seems like an exception though and I'm happy to feature other NSS users on the mozilla.org page.

Who is using NSS in their projects?
I maintain a list of applications that use Mozilla technologies in their projects and wanted to add more examples of projects that use NSS. http://www.mozilla.org/projects/mozilla-based.html I had seen references to Apache using NSS in mod_nss so I included it as a featured application and then blogged about it. In the comments on that post though, there were questions if Apache was really using NSS or not. If I'm completely mistaken here, let me know and I'll take it down. If it is using NSS in some way, let me know if there is any place to point people who have questions about it. http://davidwboswell.wordpress.com/2010/03/01/featured-mozilla-based-applications-for-march/ I'd also like to promote other NSS users, so if there's a list somewhere like the XULRunner Hall of Fame or if anyone wants to just post here with some examples, that would be great.
