Description:

The following steps are used to create a SSL certificate in a specified location with the validity period. Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is the most widely used protocol for implementing cryptography on the Web. SSL uses a combination of cryptographic processes to provide secure communication over a network. SSL provides a secure enhancement to the standard TCP/IP sockets protocol used for Internet communications.

Creating SSL Certificate Using Java :

Take command Prompt get it into any folder (eg : C:\Certfile or C:\jdk1.4.2\bin) . Remember the alias name and password you are giving.copy the commands and give input.
