Package javax.net.ssl

Provides classes for the secure socket package. Using the secure socket classes, you can communicate using SSL or a related security protocol to reliably detect any errors introduced into the network byte stream and to optionally encrypt the data and/or authenticate the communicating peers.

Interface Summary
Interface Description
HandshakeCompletedListener

This interface is implemented by any class which wants to receive notifications about the completion of an SSL protocol handshake on a given SSL connection.

HostnameVerifier

This class is the base interface for hostname verification.

KeyManager

This is the base interface for JSSE key managers.

ManagerFactoryParameters

This class is the base interface for providing algorithm-specific information to a KeyManagerFactory or TrustManagerFactory.

SSLSession

In SSL, sessions are used to describe an ongoing relationship between two entities.

SSLSessionBindingListener

This interface is implemented by objects which want to know when they are being bound or unbound from a SSLSession.

SSLSessionContext

A SSLSessionContext represents a set of SSLSessions associated with a single entity.

TrustManager

This is the base interface for JSSE trust managers.

X509KeyManager

Instances of this interface manage which X509 certificate-based key pairs are used to authenticate the local side of a secure socket.

X509TrustManager

Instance of this interface manage which X509 certificates may be used to authenticate the remote side of a secure socket.

Class Summary
Class Description
CertPathTrustManagerParameters

A wrapper for CertPathParameters.

ExtendedSSLSession

Extends the SSLSession interface to support additional session attributes.

HandshakeCompletedEvent

This event indicates that an SSL handshake completed on a given SSL connection.

HttpsURLConnection

HttpsURLConnection extends HttpURLConnection with support for https-specific features.

KeyManagerFactory

This class acts as a factory for key managers based on a source of key material.

KeyManagerFactorySpi

This class defines the Service Provider Interface (SPI) for the KeyManagerFactory class.

KeyStoreBuilderParameters

A parameters object for X509KeyManagers that encapsulates a List of KeyStore.Builders.

SNIHostName

Instances of this class represent a server name of type host_name in a Server Name Indication (SNI) extension.

SNIMatcher

Instances of this class represent a matcher that performs match operations on an SNIServerName instance.

SNIServerName

Instances of this class represent a server name in a Server Name Indication (SNI) extension.

SSLContext

Instances of this class represent a secure socket protocol implementation which acts as a factory for secure socket factories or SSLEngines.

SSLContextSpi

This class defines the Service Provider Interface (SPI) for the SSLContext class.

SSLEngine

A class which enables secure communications using protocols such as the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) or IETF RFC 2246 "Transport Layer Security" (TLS) protocols, but is transport independent.

SSLEngineResult

An encapsulation of the result state produced by SSLEngine I/O calls.

SSLParameters

Encapsulates parameters for an SSL/TLS/DTLS connection.

SSLPermission

This class is for various network permissions.

SSLServerSocket

This class extends ServerSocket and provides secure server sockets using protocols such as the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) or Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocols.

SSLServerSocketFactory

SSLServerSocketFactorys create SSLServerSockets.

SSLSessionBindingEvent

This event is propagated to a SSLSessionBindingListener.

SSLSocket

This class extends Socket and provides secure sockets using protocols such as the "Secure Sockets Layer" (SSL) or IETF "Transport Layer Security" (TLS) protocols.

SSLSocketFactory

SSLSocketFactorys create SSLSockets.

StandardConstants

Standard constants definitions

TrustManagerFactory

This class acts as a factory for trust managers based on a source of trust material.

TrustManagerFactorySpi

This class defines the Service Provider Interface (SPI) for the TrustManagerFactory class.

X509ExtendedKeyManager

Abstract class that provides for extension of the X509KeyManager interface.

X509ExtendedTrustManager

Extensions to the X509TrustManager interface to support SSL/TLS/DTLS connection sensitive trust management.

Enum Summary
Enum Description
SSLEngineResult.HandshakeStatus

An SSLEngineResult enum describing the current handshaking state of this SSLEngine.

SSLEngineResult.Status

An SSLEngineResult enum describing the overall result of the SSLEngine operation.

Exception Summary
Exception Description
SSLException

Indicates some kind of error detected by an SSL subsystem.

SSLHandshakeException

Indicates that the client and server could not negotiate the desired level of security.

SSLKeyException

Reports a bad SSL key.

SSLPeerUnverifiedException

Indicates that the peer's identity has not been verified.

SSLProtocolException

Reports an error in the operation of the SSL protocol.
