The Java Secure Socket Extension (JSSE) is a set of packages that enable secure Internet communications. It implements a 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 an optional package for Java versions 1.2 and 1.3, but was integrated into 1.4.
