This SSL feature is supported through the use of JSSE version 1.0.3.
Currently, the JSSE reference implementation is used. JSSE is a
Because the user is interacting with JSSE through these interfaces, the different components can be mixed and matched as long as the implementation is programmed under the published interfaces. However, some implementations may not support a particular algorithm.
The JSSE 1.0.3 application programming interface (API) is capable of supporting SSL versions 2.0 and 3.0 and Transport Layer Security (TLS) version 1.0. These security protocols encapsulate a normal bidirectional stream socket and the JSSE 1.0.3 API adds transparent support for authentication, encryption, and integrity protection. The JSSE reference implementation implements SSL version 3.0 and TLS 1.0.
