Mozilla Crypto FAQ - Archive of obsolete content
in february 2000 iplanet e-commerce solutions (a sun-netscape alliance) released source code through mozilla.org for the personal security manager and network security services software; this source code included support for the ssl protocol, but due to the rsa patent and related legal issues it did not originally contain code for rsa or other cryptographic algorithms.
... what about mozilla support for pgp and other protocols besides ssl and s/mime?
... support for pgp and other security-related protocols and formats can potentially be added to mozilla in the same manner as ssl and s/mime; if anyone is interested in working on such support within the mozilla project then they are welcome to do so.
... as noted above, the psm code implements ssl and (in the future) s/mime support for mozilla by taking advantage of generic high-level mozilla public apis used to add new protocols and message formats.

Opening a Link in the Default Browser - Archive of obsolete content
this can be done using the nsiexternalprotocolservice interface: // first construct an nsiuri object using the ioservice var ioservice = components.classes["@mozilla.org/network/io-service;1"] .getservice(components.interfaces.nsiioservice); var uritoopen = ioservice.newuri("http://www.example.com/", null, null); var extps = components.classes["@mozilla.org/uriloader/external-protocol-service;1"] .getservice(components.interfaces.nsiexternalprotocolservice); // now, open it!
... extps.loaduri(uritoopen, null); by default, the external protocol service will warn the user about opening the link in another application.
... to suppress this warning for particular protocols that are safe to open in the default application, you must set default prefs (thunderbird sets the following prefs): // suppress external-load warning for standard browser schemes pref("network.protocol-handler.warn-external.http", false); pref("network.protocol-handler.warn-external.https", false); pref("network.protocol-handler.warn-external.ftp", false); you can also check whether an external handler for a scheme exists.
... this is how you do it: var extps = components.classes["@mozilla.org/uriloader/external-protocol-service;1"] .getservice(components.interfaces.nsiexternalprotocolservice); if (extps.externalprotocolhandlerexists("http")) { // handler for http:// urls exists } link within an iframe to enable a link inside an html document that is the "src" of an iframe to be opened in the default browser, setting the preference: pref("network.protocol-handler.expose-all", false); seems to work.

Vulnerabilities - Archive of obsolete content
software feature misuse vulnerabilities are introduced during the design of the software or a component of the software (e.g., a protocol that the software implements).
...threats may also change over the lifetime of software or a protocol used in software.
... for example, the address resolution protocol (arp) trusts that an arp reply contains the correct mapping between media access control (mac) and internet protocol (ip) addresses.
... the arp protocol was standardized over 25 years ago, and threats have changed a great deal since then, so the trust assumptions inherent in its design then are unlikely to still be reasonable today.

An overview of NSS Internals
a high-level overview to the internals of network security services (nss) software developed by the mozilla.org projects traditionally used its own implementation of security protocols and cryptographic algorithms, originally called netscape security services, nowadays called network security services (nss).
...nss has an ssl/tls module that implements the secure sockets layer/transport layer security network protocols, an s/mime module that implements cms messaging used by secure email and some instant messaging implementations, a dbm library that implements the classic database storage, and finally a core nss library for the big set of “everything else”.
...because public key encryption is more expensive (more calculations required) than symmetric encryption (where both parties use the same key), a key agreement protocol will be executed, where the public and private keys are used to proof and verify the exchanged initial information.
...examples are retrieving ocsp (online certificate status protocol) information or downloading a crl (certificate revocation list).

NSS 3.28 release notes
the tls 1.3 (draft) protocol can be enabled, by defining nss_enable_tls_1_3=1 when building nss.
... for the future nss 3.29 release, it is planned that standard builds of nss will support the tls 1.3 protocol (although the maximum tls protocol version enabled by default will remain at tls 1.2).
... we know that some applications which use nss, query nss for the supported range of ssl/tls protocols, and will enable the maximum enabled protocol version.
... in nss 3.29, those applications will therefore enable support for the tls 1.3 protocol.

Port - MDN Web Docs Glossary: Definitions of Web-related terms
ports are designated by numbers, and below 1024 each port is associated by default with a specific protocol.
... for example, the default port for the http protocol is 80 and the default port for the https protocol is 443, so a http server waits for requests on those ports.

... the http authentication protocol is challenge-response based, though the "basic" protocol isn't using a real challenge (the realm is always the same).

Notes on TLS - SSL 3.0 Intolerant Servers
problem a number of netscape 6.x/7.x and mozilla users have reported that some secure sites -- typically sites featuring online transactions or online banking over the https protocol -- do not display any content at all.
...it is designed to permit a server to detect a man-in-the-middle that is altering the ssl client hello (connection) requests as they pass from the client to the server, altering them by changing the protocol version number to a lower version number.
...normally the servers which have this problem are not equipped to deal with the tls protocol, but instead of rolling back to ssl 3.0 as the rollback provision provides, they terminate/drop the connection, thus resulting in most cases a blank page display.

Overview of NSS

sslintro.html
to avoid the overhead of repeating the full ssl handshake in situations like this, the ssl protocol supports the use of a session cache, which retains information about each connection, such as the master secret generated during the ssl handshake, for a predetermined length of time.
...the application's protocol (for example, http) determines which end has responsibility to talk first.
...at the http protocol level, nothing more is being said (that is, no http request or response is being sent), so the server first uses ssl_rehandshake to begin a new handshake and then call ssl_forcehandshake to drive the handshake to completion.

Using the Places annotation service
the annotation protocol the annotation service provides a protocol handler for the "moz-anno:" protocol.
...you can get an annotation uri for a given uri/name pair by calling: getannotationuri(auri, aname); in order for the annotation protocol to work, the annotation in question must have been declared with a mime type.
...when the annotation name is "favicon," the annotation protocol handler will pass the request through to the favicon service for handling.

...the old options to disable ssl 2, ssl 3 and tls 1.0 have been removed and replaced with a new -v option that specifies the enabled range of protocol versions (see usage output of those tools).

NSS 3.15.5 release notes

NSS 3.27 release notes
although the maximum tls version enabled by default is still tls 1.2, there are applications that query the list of tls protocol versions supported by nss, and enable all supported versions.
... the tls 1.3 (draft) protocol can be disabled, by defining symbol nss_disable_tls_1_3 when building nss.

NSS 3.37 release notes

Lifetime of a WebRTC session - Web APIs
signaling signaling is the process of sending control information between two devices to determine the communication protocols, channels, media codecs and formats, and method of data transfer, as well as any required routing information.

Using WebRTC data channels - Web APIs
even when user agents share the same underlying library for handling stream control transmission protocol (sctp) data, there can still be variations due to how the library is used.
