Vineesh, I think you are right. I used the following code to find out the encryption algorithm in my servlet,
String cipherSuite = (String) httpReq.getAttribute("javax.servlet.request.cipher_suite"); if(cipherSuite != null){ out.println("javax.servlet.request.cipher_suite is " + cipherSuite); } I got the following result javax.servlet.request.cipher_suite is SSL_RSA_WITH_RC4_128_MD5 And I also used the RSA while generating a keypair for certificate. So may be the same key-pair is used for encryption also. Thanks for all your help.
