Chapter 12 Using the SSL Protocol


Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is a protocol for transmitting encrypted data over the Internet or an internal network. SSL uses public and private key to encrypt and authenticate data transferred over the SSL connection. Most web browsers support SSL, and many Web sites and Java applications use it to obtain confidential user information, such as credit card numbers.

The SSL protocol is complex, and this chapter is not a complete description of SSL. Instead, this chapter describes how to configure SSL in the TIBCO Enterprise Message Service server and in client applications that communicate with the server. For a more complete description of SSL, see the SSL specification at http://wp.netscape.com/eng/ssl3/.
