Java in a Nutshell, 5th Edition

Name

SSLHandshakeException

Synopsis

Signals that the SSL handshake failed for some reason other than failed authentication (see SSLPeerUnverifiedException). For example, it may be thrown because the client and server count not agree on a mutually-acceptable cipher suite. When this exception is thrown, the SSLSocket object is no longer usable.
