certificate to use. You can use your system's default certificate or you can
|

specify another certificate to use.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>You want to use your system's default certificate if:</p>
|
||
|
|
<ul><li>You do not have any specific security requirements for your Java™ application.</li>
|

|
|
<li>You do not know what kind of security you need for your Java application.</li>

your Java application.</li>

check with your system administrator to make sure that a default system certificate

<div class="p">If you do not want to use your system's default certificate, you need to
|
||
|
|
choose a different certificate to use. You can choose from two types of certificates:<ul><li><strong>User certificate</strong> that identifies the user of the application.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li><strong>System certificate</strong> that identifies the system on which the application
|
||
|
|
is running.</li>
|
||
|
|
</ul>
|
||
|
|
</div>
|
||
|
|
<div class="p">You should use a user certificate if:<ul><li>your application runs as a client application.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>you want the certificate to identify the user who is working with the
|
||
|
|
application.</li>
|
||
|
|
</ul>
|

</div>
|

<div class="p">You should use a system certificate if:<ul><li>your application runs as a server application.</li>

running.</li>
|

are able to access.</p>

All SSL communications begin with a "handshake" between the server and the client. During the handshake, SSL negotiates the cipher suite that the client and server use to communicate with each other. This cipher suite is a combination of the various security features available through SSL. You can only use SSL with J2SDK, version 1.3. You can use the Java Secure Socket Extension (JSSE, version 1.0.8), which is the Java implementation of secure sockets layer (SSL), to make your Java application more secure.">Using SSL (JSSE, version 1.0.8)</a></div>
