SSLCertificateSocketFactory

public class SSLCertificateSocketFactory
extends SSLSocketFactory

java.lang.Object
   ↳ javax.net.SocketFactory
     ↳ javax.net.ssl.SSLSocketFactory
       ↳ android.net.SSLCertificateSocketFactory


SSLSocketFactory implementation with several extra features:

The handshake timeout does not apply to actual TCP socket connection. If you want a connection timeout as well, use createSocket() and connect(SocketAddress, int), after which you must verify the identity of the server you are connected to.

Most SSLSocketFactory implementations do not verify the server's identity, allowing man-in-the-middle attacks. This implementation does check the server's certificate hostname, but only for createSocket variants that specify a hostname. When using methods that use InetAddress or which return an unconnected socket, you MUST verify the server's identity yourself to ensure a secure connection.

One way to verify the server's identity is to use getDefaultHostnameVerifier() to get a HostnameVerifier to verify the certificate hostname.

On development devices, "setprop socket.relaxsslcheck yes" bypasses all SSL certificate and hostname checks for testing purposes. This setting requires root access.

Socket createSocket (String host, 
                int port)

Creates a socket and connects it to the specified remote host at the specified remote port. This socket is configured using the socket options established for this factory.

If there is a security manager, its checkConnect method is called with the host address and port as its arguments. This could result in a SecurityException.

This method verifies the peer's certificate hostname after connecting (unless created with getInsecure(int, SSLSessionCache)).

Parameters
host String: the server host name with which to connect, or null for the loopback address.
port int: the server port
Returns
Socket the Socket

Returns a socket layered over an existing socket connected to the named host, at the given port. This constructor can be used when tunneling SSL through a proxy or when negotiating the use of SSL over an existing socket. The host and port refer to the logical peer destination. This socket is configured using the socket options established for this factory.

This method verifies the peer's certificate hostname after connecting (unless created with getInsecure(int, SSLSessionCache)).

Parameters

Returns
Socket the unconnected socket

getDefault

Added in API level 1
SocketFactory getDefault (int handshakeTimeoutMillis)

Returns a new socket factory instance with an optional handshake timeout.

Parameters
handshakeTimeoutMillis int: to use for SSL connection handshake, or 0 for none. The socket timeout is reset to 0 after the handshake.
Returns
SocketFactory a new SSLSocketFactory with the specified parameters

getDefault

Returns
SSLSocketFactory a new SSLSocketFactory with the specified parameters

getDefaultCipherSuites

Added in API level 1
String[] getDefaultCipherSuites ()

The minimum quality of service for these defaults requires confidentiality protection and server authentication (that is, no anonymous cipher suites).

Returns

SSLSocketFactory getInsecure (int handshakeTimeoutMillis, 
                SSLSessionCache cache)

Warning: Sockets created using this factory are vulnerable to man-in-the-middle attacks!

Parameters
handshakeTimeoutMillis int: to use for SSL connection handshake, or 0 for none. The socket timeout is reset to 0 after the handshake.
cache SSLSessionCache: The SSLSessionCache to use, or null for no cache.

SSLSocketFactory an insecure SSLSocketFactory with the specified parameters

getNpnSelectedProtocol

byte[] getNpnSelectedProtocol (Socket socket)

Returns the Next Protocol Negotiation (NPN) protocol selected by client and server, or null if no protocol was negotiated.

Parameters
socket Socket: a socket created by this factory.
Returns
byte[]
Throws
IllegalArgumentException if the socket was not created by this factory.

getSupportedCipherSuites

Added in API level 1
String[] getSupportedCipherSuites ()

Returns the names of the cipher suites which could be enabled for use on an SSL connection. Normally, only a subset of these will actually be enabled by default, since this list may include cipher suites which do not meet quality of service requirements for those defaults. Such cipher suites are useful in specialized applications.

setHostname

Added in API level 17
void setHostname (Socket socket, 
                String hostName)

Turns on Server Name Indication (SNI) on a given socket.

Parameters
socket Socket: a socket created by this factory.
hostName String: the desired SNI hostname, null to disable.
Throws
IllegalArgumentException if the socket was not created by this factory.

setKeyManagers

Added in API level 14

setNpnProtocols

Added in API level 16
void setNpnProtocols (byte[][] npnProtocols)

Sets the Next Protocol Negotiation (NPN) protocols that this peer is interested in.

For servers this is the sequence of protocols to advertise as supported, in order of preference. This list is sent unencrypted to all clients that support NPN.

For clients this is a list of supported protocols to match against the server's list. If there is no protocol supported by both client and server then the first protocol in the client's list will be selected. The order of the client's protocols is otherwise insignificant.
