Is it possible to implement SSL encryption by using pre-distributed keys (secret keys) in Java? If at all possible, I want to avoid certificates.

This should work, as certs are used for authenticating site validity. Am I correct or wrong in thinking this?

Thanks, ~Kyte

There is no SSL without at least one certificate. – bmargulies Apr 02 '14 at 21:22

TLS allows for pre-shared secrets, however - see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TLS-PSK – DNA Apr 02 '14 at 21:29
