Fallout from the early RSA release into public domain, the references
to BSAFE have been replaced, and a bunch of stuff are GPL. Is there
a team of folks doing independent code review?
Since this is likely to show up on a lot of systems, and any bugs
will plague us for a long time, this seems to me to be a time for
serious cooperation.

I am happy to announce that NSS 3.1 Beta 1 has been released,
including a new implementation of the RSA algorithm. This
release provides, for the first time, a complete open-source
implementation of the Netscape crypto libraries and will be
used in a future version of Personal Security Manager for
Mozilla.
The release notes can be found at
http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/pki/nss/release_notes_31.html.
The final NSS 3.1 release is scheduled for Oct. 13, 2000.
Please help us test NSS and port it to your favorite platforms.
