Describes the java packages of ITISSL.

Packages

The ITISSL package contains several software packages which can be used independently.They provide together a framework which enables you to use the SSL at it's whole strength from Java applications in RMI calls or http connections. The idea beyond ITISSL is to provide applications with a framework for customizing and extending the existing functionality according to their necessities. See the examples in the de.tu_darmstadt.sp.rmi package for details on how to setup ITISSL for your application. For the examples to work (and therefore for similar extensions in your application) all you need to do is to have the javax.net.ssl and de.tu_darmstadt.sp.ssl; packages in your classpath and the libitissl.so in the library path. This can be done for example by copying them into the ext directory of your jdk1.2 distribution.
