Why is only TLS supported, and not SSL?
Posted on 2011-03-07
Hi,
Why is only TLS supported, and not SSL on the Android platform?
SSLContext.getInstance("SS
TLS is ok, but I need to use SSL
What do you do if you need to use SSL?
Thanks

TLS is the current version of SSL. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transport_Layer_Security Do you have a need for backwards compatibility?
Hi Dave,
i have a server that only supports SSL, and using TLS from the Android client does not work.
I was reading there is a difference in handshake, and although TLS is is based off of SSL3.0, TLS and SSL are not compatible
Thanks

What version of SSL does the server support? Can you tell? Maybe it's too old though the transition to TLS started in 1999.

"version 2.0 was released in February 1995". If it really is that old there may be nothing you can reasonably do.
I think your right.. without upgrading the server to TLS1.2, there isn't much i can do form the client side.
Thanks Dave!
Thanks Dave!
