encryption - SSL and Tomcat using Java -

I'm new to SSL connections, so here's my question.

I have a desktop Java program. This jar in a jar file sends sensitive information to the remote tomcat server on the internet. Of course I need to encrypt the data.

If I buy an SSL certificate, then VCS is asking, will the data sent to SSL be automatically encrypted?

I mean I still need to do additional work to use the Java encryption extension API to encrypt my data manually on my JAR in SSL connections?

Thank you.

Establish your connection using / code>. Perhaps a high Look at the level API.

By the way, the certificate goes on the server side (unless you also want to do client-authentication, well, you also have a client certificate).

And of course, you can use self-signed certificates, but one advantage of using a certificate signed by the famous Certificate Authority (CA) such as a Welcome, Thotté etc. is that you have it M will not need to add trust to the store (unless you disable the verification mechanism).
