The New RMI

The default RMI communication mechanism—the Java Remote Method Protocol (JRMP)—is not secure. It is possible to secure the communication by writing custom socket factories using Java Secure Socket Extension (JSSE). But this approach puts the burden of writing additional code on the developers, who must take care of securing data exchange using cryptography. Java 5.0 alleviates this issue by introducing two new classes, javax.rmi.ssl.SslRMIClientSocketFactory and javax.rmi.ssl.SslRMIServerSocketFactory, that provide the ability to secure the communication channel between the client and the server using the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)/Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocols.
