The major problem with JSSE is that it isn't Open Source.
You are allowed to redistribute the binary under certain
terms but you can't redistribute the source at all and
you certainly can't modify it.

JSSE will be part of JDK 1.4 but currently it needs to
be obtained separately from Sun.

If these restrictions are OK with you then JSSE is a reasonable
choice. Otherwise, you should probably check out PureTLS which is (as
far as I know) equally capable to JSSE and is Open Source.

PureTLS can be found at http://www.rtfm.com/puretls
