<h1 class="topictitle1">Using SSL (JSSE, version 1.0.8)</h1>
<div><p>SSL provides a means of authenticating a server and a client to
provide privacy and data integrity. 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.</p>
<p> SSL does the following to improve the security of your application:</p>
<ul><li>Protects communication data through encryption.</li>
<li>Authenticates remote user IDs.</li>
<li>Authenticates remote system names.</li>
</ul>
<div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:</span> SSL uses a digital certificate to encrypt the socket communication of
your Java application.
Digital certificates are an Internet standard for identifying secure systems,
users, and applications. You can control digital certificates using the IBM<sup>®</sup> Digital
Certificate Manager. For more information, see <a href="../rzahu/rzahurazhudigitalcertmngmnt.htm" target="_blank">IBM Digital Certificate Manager</a>.</div>
<p>To make your Java application more secure by using SSL:</p>
<ul><li><a href="sslprepf.htm">Prepare the iSeries™ server</a> to support SSL.</li>
<li>Design your Java application to use SSL by: <ul><li><a href="sslsfact.htm">Changing your Java socket code to use socket factories</a> if
you do not use socket factories already.</li>
<li><a href="sslmcode.htm">Changing your Java code to use SSL</a>.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Use a digital certificate to make your Java application more secure by: <ol><li><a href="ssldecdc.htm">Selecting a type of digital certificate to
use</a>.</li>
<li><a href="sslusedc.htm">Using the digital certificate when you run
your application</a>.</li>
</ol>
</li>
</ul>
<p>You can also register your Java application as a secure application
by using the QsyRegisterAppForCertUse API. For more information, see <a href="../apis/qsyrgap.htm" target="_blank">QsyRegisterAppForCertUse</a>.</p>
<p>For more information on the Java version of SSL, see <a href="http://java.sun.com/products/jsse" target="_blank">Java Secure

To prepare your system to use secure sockets layer (SSL), you need to install Licensed Programs. the Digital Certificate Manager LP:</li>
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="sslsfact.htm">Change your Java code to use socket factories</a></strong><br />
To use secure sockets layer (SSL) with your existing code, you must first change your code to use socket factories.</li>

</li>
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="ssldecdc.htm">Select a digital certificate to use</a></strong><br />
You should consider several factors when deciding which digital certificate to use. You can use your system's default certificate or you can specify another certificate to use.</li>
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="sslusedc.htm">Use the digital certificate when you run your Java application</a></strong><br />
To use secure sockets layer (SSL), you must run your Java application
using a digital certificate.</li>
