# Package javax.net.ssl

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.

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.
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.
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.

SSLPeerUnverifiedException
Indicates that the peer's identity has not been verified.
SSLPermission
This class is for various network permissions.
SSLProtocolException
Reports an error in the operation of the SSL protocol.
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.
SSLSession
In SSL, sessions are used to describe an ongoing relationship between two entities.
SSLSessionBindingEvent
This event is propagated to a SSLSessionBindingListener.
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.
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.

X509ExtendedTrustManager
Extensions to the `X509TrustManager` interface to support SSL/TLS/DTLS connection sensitive trust management.
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.
