As the name indicates, TLS offers security at the transport layer, somewhere between the network layer (e.g., TCP/IP) and application layer (e.g., HTTP) protocols.

We recommend Java Security, Second Edition, by Scott Oaks (O’Reilly) for a deeper understanding of SSL and related concepts. In this section, we give an overview of the key concepts that are relevant to configuring WebLogic’s SSL implementation.
