Subject: SSL and JCE
HI!
We are developing a client/server based application using java. We
use sockets to communicate. We are planning to use
SSL in our programs to encrypt/decrypt the data.
I have few questions regarding SSL and JCE.
1. Where can I get SSL class libs.? Can we use sun.security.ssl
package? If yes, how to obtain them?
2. To use SSL, do we need to get a digital certificate(atleast a
trial one)?
3. What is JCE and how to get it? Can we use JCE instead of SSL to
encrypt/decrypt data which we send through sockets?
Thank You.
