 From what I have read, the internal pkcs 11 data store is protected by 1

 data store with their own password [...]?

No, at the present time, there is not.

when was TLS introduced into NSS?

2008-10-28 Thread Gordon.Young
I'm unable to determine when some specific features where added to
NSS.

Will you assist me with the following?

Which production version of NSS first introduced TLS v1?
As well, has NSS allways supported: the cipher suite DES-CBC3-SHA?

Thank you,
Gordon

 No, at the present time, there is not.

Could I get around this problem by creating a new pkcs 11 data store
for my extension? (with code reuse from certutil.c)  Or will calling
NSS_Initialize from within the extension cause problems with the rest
of Firefox...

All open-source versions of NSS (NSS 3.2 or later) support TLS 1.0.

 As well, has NSS allways supported: the cipher suite DES-CBC3-SHA?

Yes.  In NSS, that cipher suite is called SSL_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA,
which is the standard name of the cipher suite.

NSS_Initialize will not add a new database, but there is a call that will.:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en/NSS_PKCS11_Functions#SECMOD_OpenUserDB

Some caveats:
While the database is open, those keys and certs are accessible to 
mozilla. It will look like a new token to NSS (just as if you inserted a 
smart card). If Mozilla desides to use one of the certs, it may ask the 
user to log into your token (if you aren't already logged in).


That token can have a different password that the firefox built-in store.

When you are through you can get rid of close the database with:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en/NSS_PKCS11_Functions#SECMOD_CloseUserDB

Closing the database will act just as if it were a smart card that was 
suddenly removed.
