118646 - enumeration of all cipher suites

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(JSS Graveyard :: Library, enhancement, P3)

Description

UI needs a way of getting the list of ciphers so that users can select which
ones they want to enable.

If we keep the names technical, rather than descriptive, we can probably get
away with not internationalizing them.

I don't want to include the names of the cipher suites in JSS, since I consider
that a UI function. But it is useful to return a list of ciphers.

Therefore I have added a new method as follows to SSLSocket.java:
    /**
     * Returns a list of cipher suites that are implemented by NSS.
     * Each element in the array will be one of the cipher suite constants
     * defined in this class (for example,
     * <tt>TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA</tt>).
     */
    public static native int[] getImplementedCipherSuites();

Rename JSS 3.2.1 to JSS 3.3.
