NSS can enable SSL sockets for secure communication.
Net::NSS::SSL is an excellent Perl module that provides SSL sockets using NSS technology. Creating sockets is simple and straightforward using the new constructor, which initializes the socket, sets the desired options, imports it into the SSL layer, and connects it to the peer host or binds and establishes a listening socket in the correct order.
If you require more control over the socket creation, you can utilize create_socket, which creates a new socket that can be SSL enabled by calling import_into_ssl_layer before connecting or listening. The new constructor offers two options: one that accepts the socket address as a string and %args, and the other that only accepts %args. It creates a new socket, sets it up, and imports it into NSS SSL layer.
Net::NSS::SSL offers several options to configure the socket, such as setting the peer address, host, and numerical port, among others. The module also allows you to enable and disable SSL options by passing an array reference. With SSL_URL, you can set the host/URL that the server certificate will be verified against.
Net::NSS::SSL provides several options to set client certificate hooks, certificate hook arguments, and certificate verify hooks. These options are useful if you want to customize the certificate verification process.
Lastly, import_into_ssl_layer() method can be used to import the socket into NSS SSL layer if it's not already done. It's an essential method that ensures the socket is correctly imported into the SSL layer.
In conclusion, Net::NSS::SSL is an excellent Perl module that provides SSL sockets using NSS. It's easy to use and comes with several options that make socket creation and configuration simple and straightforward.
