Fax: +353-1-605 4388
E-Mail: info@baltimore.ie
URL: http://www.baltimore.ie
Platforms: JCA
Description:
Implemented for practically all Internet browsers, allowing
businesses to conduct secure commerce such as Online Banking,
Home Shopping etc. As J/SSL is written in Ireland, it is not
subject to US export restrictions and therefore provides full
128-bit encryption. The strength of SSL is based upon widely
understood and analysed ciphers including DES, Triple-DES,
RC4, SHA-1, and MD5.
Authentication is provided by using X.509 digital certificates
which can be based on the RSA cipher, DSA (Digital Signature
Algorithm) or Diffie-Hellman to prove the identity of the
parties involved. PKCS#10 certificate requests can be
generated using J/SSL which can then be submitted to a
Certification Authority such as UniCERT from Baltimore
Technologies.
J/SSL is a full implementation of SSL 3.0. Developed from J/CRYPTO 2.0, a 100% pure Java Crypto library, J/SSL uses implementations of full
strength industry standard cryptographic algorithms. As it is
built on top of JCA (Java Cryptopgraphy Architecture), other
cryptographic libraries which are JCE compliant (Java
Cryptography Extension) can be plugged in as the cryptography
provider in J/SSL with a minimum of alterations. J/SSL is
written in Java and is therefore both platform and operating
system independent.
J/SSL is compatible with the latest JDK 1.1*, and also with
JDK 1.0.2 and can be used to build applets for older browsers
including Netscape 3.0 and Internet Explorer 3.0 as well as
the latest generation of browsers.
