Module java.base

# 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 `SSLSession`s 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 `SSLEngine`s.
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 | `SSLServerSocketFactory`s create `SSLServerSocket`s.
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 | `SSLSocketFactory`s create `SSLSocket`s.
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.
