Package jss: Information

Network Security Services for Java (JSS) is a Java interface to NSS. JSS
supports most of the security standards and encryption technologies supported by
NSS. JSS also provides a pure Java interface for ASN.1 types and BER/DER
encoding.

JSS offers a implementation of Java SSL sockets that uses NSS's SSL/TLS
implementation rather than Sun's JSSE implementation. You might want to use
JSS's own SSL classes if you want to use some of the capabilities found in NSS's
SSL/TLS library but not found in JSSE.

NSS is the cryptographic module where all cryptographic operations are
performed. JSS essentially provides a Java JNI bridge to NSS C shared libraries.
When NSS is put in FIPS mode, JSS ensures FIPS compliance by ensuring that all
cryptographic operations are performed by the NSS cryptographic module.
