NSPR is not just for encryption:

http://www.mozilla.org/projects/nspr/about-nspr.html

  "NSPR provides platform independence for non-GUI operating system

   synchronization, normal file and network I/O, interval timing and
   calendar time, basic memory management (malloc and free) and shared
   library linking."
