Uses of Socket in javax.net.ssl

Subclasses of Socket in javax.net.ssl

Modifier and Type	Class and Description
class	SSLSocket This class extends Sockets and provides secure socket using protocols such as the "Secure Sockets Layer" (SSL) or IETF "Transport Layer Security" (TLS) protocols.

Methods in javax.net.ssl that return Socket

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
Socket	SSLSocketFactory.createSocket(Socket s, InputStream consumed, boolean autoClose) Creates a server mode Socket layered over an existing connected socket, and is able to read data which has already been consumed/removed from the Socket's underlying InputStream.
abstract Socket	SSLSocketFactory.createSocket(Socket s, String host, int port, boolean autoClose) Returns a socket layered over an existing socket connected to the named host, at the given port.
