SSL/TLS1.0 support through code

I want to develop one Add-on/extension, which will communicate with one server over TCP socket. I want to make this commun开发者_StackOverflow社区ication secure by using SSL or TLS.

Is there any way to use SSL/TLS implementation from Mozilla Firefox? Is there any kind of protocols available to perform SSL/TLS actions in Firefox?

The socket transport service can be used to create a TLS or SSL socket.
