Added in API level 1

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.

Package Specification

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.
