The crypto module in NSS 3.2.2 received our latest FIPS validation. This crypto module did not change in NSS 3.3.x, so Netscape 6.2.x and the corresponding Mozilla versions (which use NSS 3.3.x) are using the exact same version of the NSS crypto module that was FIPS validated. The NSS crypto module changed in NSS 3.4 and later. New algorithms were added, for example, AES and SHA256/SHA512, and some bugs were fixed. We are looking into revalidating the current NSS crypto module. If you are interested, please send me email.
