Java Security, 2nd Edition

Name

Interface javax.net.ssl.SSLSession

Synopsis

SSL sessions are used to obtain information about a particular SSL client or server socket. In particular, the session object can be used to retrieve (via the getPeerCertificateChain( ) method) the certificate of the connected peer; you should examine the name within this certificate to make sure that it matches the name of the server to which you want to connect. The session object is obtained from the SSL socket.
