=== Elliptic Curve Cryptography ===


The NSS codebase currently contains [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elliptic_curve_cryptography Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC)] algorithms donated by Sun Labs, however they are turned off by default in the builds script. In this release we will implement the ECC TLS cipher suites ([https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=236245 Bugzilla bug 236245]) and enable NSS to use third-party tokens that implement ECC. We have not yet decided if we will enable all ECC functionality in this release.

This work was originally scheduled for NSS 3.12. We have decided to do it earlier in NSS 3.11.1.
