    Subject: SSL and JCE

Hi!

I am developing a client/server application using java. I use sockets to communicate. I need to use ssl
to encrypt and decrypt data.

My questions are

1. How to get ssl class libs.? Can i use sun.security.ssl.* package? I beleive sun.security.ssl is not
complete!!

2. To use ssl do I need to get a digital certificate(atleast a trial one)?

3. What is JCE? can I use JCE instead of SSL?

4. Netscape has SSL implemented in their browser. can i rely on that to encrypt/decrpt data which i send
through my program sockets? I know this is a dumb question. Just wanted to make sure.

Thank You.
