Java Secure Socket Extension
Java Secure Socket Extension ( JSSE ) is a Java API for Secure Sockets Layer ( SSL). It is a standard part of the Java Standard Edition since version 1.4, which provides functions that are required for secure communication. In older versions of Java complementary JSSE libraries can be added to the classpath. JSSE supports SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0. It is used for encryption, server and client authentication and data integrity. Through his pure Java implementation, it is easy to integrate into your own Java programs. In addition to the implementation of the algorithms of the JSSE API also contains tools (for example, for creating a keystore ).
