Module description

IBMJSSEFIPS is an SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) interface that provides API's to

allow users to write SSL applications. IBMJSSEFIPS uses an embedded FIPS-

Approved module. IBM SSLite in Java (Certificate #406) for the actual SSL

interfaces.

IBM SSLite in Java is a TLS (Transport Layer Security) V1.0 protocol

implementation including PKI (Public Key Infrastructure) functionality for the

hand-shake, in Java. This implementation, in turn relies exclusively on the

internal FIPS-Approved IBM CryptoLite in Java module for all cryptographic

functionality. See the IBM SSLite in Java Security Policy for more information.

Cryptographic Module Specification

An application utilizes the module through the interfaces specified in the

Cryptographic Module Interfaces section of this document. A list of the basic

services provided through these interfaces may be found in the Cryptographic

Module Services section of this document. A complete list of all services and

details on their usage can be found in the Java Secure Socket Extension (JSSE)

API User's Guide and the associated IBMJSSEProvider Class Documentation.
