Chapter 23: Java Secure Socket Extension

In This Chapter

The Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is a popular means for encrypting traffic between client and servers. SSL sessions are encrypted using server-side certificate information and can also require clients to authenticate themselves . The Java Secure Socket Extension (JSSE) provides a standard API for encapsulating the SSL protocol for use by SSL clients and servers. JSSE providers plug their specific SSL implementations beneath the JSSE standard API. By using JSSE in your Java applications, you can better insulate your applications to vendor-specific SSL API mechanisms. Although this is generally true, a vendor-specific method for configuring socket factories and authentication information is still required for JSSE v1.0.
