The '''Java Secure Socket Extension''' ('''JSSE''') is a set of packages that enable secure [[Internet]] communications. It implements a [[Java (programming language)|Java]] technology version of [[Secure Sockets Layer]] (SSL) and [[Transport Layer Security]] (TLS) protocols. It includes functionality for data [[encryption]], server [[authentication]], [[message integrity]], and optional client authentication.

JSSE was originally developed as an optional package for Java versions 1.2 and 1.3, but was added as a standard API and implementation into JDK 1.4.

The [[Java]] Secure [[Socket]] Extension (JSSE) enables secure [[Internet]] communications. It provides a framework and an implementation for a [[Java version]] of the [[SSL]] and [[TLS]] protocols and includes functionality for data [[encryption]], server authentication, message integrity, and optional client authentication. Using JSSE, developers can provide for the secure passage of data between a client and a server running any application protocol, such as Hypertext Transfer Protocol [[(HTTP)]], [[Telnet]], or [[FTP]], over [[TCP/IP]].
