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.

Interfaces

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.

Classes

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 connection.
SSLPermission	Legacy security code; do not use.
SSLServerSocket	This class extends ServerSockets 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 Sockets and provides secure socket 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 connection sensitive trust management.

Enums

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.

Exceptions

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.
