I agree, I don't see anything in the manual:

The Nexus One manual I mentioned:

http://static.googleusercontent.com/external_content/untrusted_dlcp/www.google.com/en/us/googlephone/nexusone-userguide.pdf

has a section "Working with secure certificates". The details are still
sparse in the VPN section. However, when I ask to add a cert, I see a few
types, one of which has CRT which stands for certificate I believe.

yes, that is used by javax.net.ssl.SSLSocket

This guy says it's the "Dalvik library's SSL implementation":

which is what I work on, I've very confident about how email and browser
works, just not the VPN (and apparently WiFi) use of the KeyStore.
