    Subject: SSL and JCE

HI!
We are developing a client/server based application using java. We
use sockets to communicate. We are planning to use
SSL in our programs to encrypt/decrypt the data.

I have few questions regarding SSL and JCE.

1. Where can I get SSL class libs.? Can we use sun.security.ssl
package? If yes, how to obtain them?

2. To use SSL, do we need to get a digital certificate(atleast a
trial one)?

3. What is JCE and how to get it? Can we use JCE instead of SSL to
encrypt/decrypt data which we send through sockets?

Thank You.
