The NSS Base64 functions are less safe and convenient to use than the XPCOM ones. They're also an unnecessary dependency on NSS. The NSS Base64 functions behave slightly differently than the XPCOM ones: 1. ATOB_ConvertAsciiToItem() / NSSBase64_DecodeBuffer() silently ignore invalid characters like CRLF, space and so on. Base64Decode() will return an error if these characters are encountered. 2. BTOA_DataToAscii() will produce output that has CRLF inserted every 64 characters. Base64Encode() doesn't do this. For the reasons listed below, no unexpected compatibility issues should arise: 1. AppSignatureVerification.cpp already filters out CRLF and spaces for Manifest and Signature values before decoding. 2. ExtendedValidation.cpp is only given what should be valid hard-coded input to decode. 3. ContentSignatureVerifier.cpp already splits on CRLF for when it needs to decode PEM certs. Spaces shouldn't be likely. For Content-Signature header verification, examination of real input to a running instance of Firefox suggests CRLF and spaces will not be present in the header to decode. 4. nsCryptoHash.cpp encode is affected, but we actually don't want the CRLF behaviour. 5. nsDataSignatureVerifier.cpp decode is affected, but we add whitespace stripping to maintain backwards compatibility. 6. nsKeygenHandler.cpp encode is affected, but the previous CRLF behaviour was arguably a bug, since neither WHATWG or W3C specs specified this.
