Security overview using Java Secure Socket Extension

The Java Secure Socket Extension (JSSE) implements a Java version of SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) and TLS (Transport Layer Security) protocols to ensure communication security.  JSSE provides the functionality for data encryption, server authentication, and client authentication (optional). Using JSSE, allows for the secure passage of data between a client and a server running any application protocol over TCP/IP. For more information about JSSE, see the JSSE Web site.

The following configuration parameters can be declared in a configuration file for JSEE authentication purposes. A JSSE configuration file can be found here: <install dir>/plugins/com.ibm.etools.pd.security/config/pluginconfig.xml. Parameters include:
