I'm working on adding SSL to a client server chat program I have. I'm using a basic socket setup to communicate, but would like to switch over to using SSLsockets so that each session is encrypted, however I'm getting a bit confused with what exactly I need to do with generating, adding, and self signing certificates. I've found a few examples but none were all that helpful.
I know I need to generate a client and server jks file. But am not sure what to do after that. I also need to self sign the certificates.
If anyone could provide a clear breakdown of what all is needed and perhaps some hits or where to find the proper keystore commands to get this done, it would be much appreciated.
