I am new to SSL connections, so my question arises here.
I have a Java desktop program in a JAR file. This JAR sends sensitive information over the Internet to a remote Tomcat server. Of course, I need to encrypt the data.
If I buy Verisign SSL confirmation, will the data sent over SSL be automatically encrypted?
I mean, in my JAR, do I still need to do additional work, for example, use the Java encryption extension APIs to manually encrypt my data over an SSL connection?
Thank.
