    Subject: X.509 authentication

Hi,

I currently have two Java Applications running that talk to each other via
socket connections. I am aware that when I am transmiting data via the
sockets that the transmitions are not secure. I was told that I could use
x.509 certificates to authenicate the idenities of both the sender and the
receiver using Java 1.1.6 API's. I have been looking for examples of some
source code that deals with this subject but I have not been able to find
any as of yet.

Thank you in advance for whatever help you can provide.

Sincerely,
Vik Malhotra.
