The NSS cryptographic module is a shared library/DLL loaded by an application program on a host computer. When a program calls the <code>FC_Initialize</code> function of the NSS cryptographic module library, the state changes and power-up self-tests are performed. See [http://wiki.mozilla.org/Section_9:_Self_Tests Self Tests] for a description of the power-up self-tests. If the self-tests succeed, the library is considered initialized and the module enters the normal operational state. Refer to the tables below when studying this state transition diagram.<br> | The NSS cryptographic module is a shared library/DLL loaded by an application program on a host computer.

'''Recovery from error states''': If the FIPS Approved mode of the module ever enters the Error state, the NSS cryptographic module library needs to be shut down (transition 3.0) and reinitialized (transition 1.1). | '''Recovery from error states''': If the FIPS Approved mode of the module ever enters the Error state, the NSS cryptographic module library needs to be shut down (transition 3.0) and reinitialized (transition 1.1). | ||
