Class InsecureSSLContextFactory

java.lang.Object

net.grinder.util.InsecureSSLContextFactory

All Implemented Interfaces:

SSLContextFactory

public final class InsecureSSLContextFactory
extends Object
implements SSLContextFactory

Factory which creates SSLContexts. We don't care about cryptographic strength, so can take some shortcuts.

I tried using a trivial SecureRandomSpi implementation, but it didn't make SSL measurable faster. Seeding the SecureRandom up front can help on some platforms.

Constructor Detail

InsecureSSLContextFactory

public InsecureSSLContextFactory()

Constructor. Uses a null key manager.

The JSSE does not provide an way to access its default SSLContext, and we don't bother trying to replicate it. (The default context is specified by the System properties javax.ssl.net.ssl.keyStore, javax.ssl.net.ssl.keyStorePassword, javax.ssl.net.ssl.keyStoreType. These properties have no effect on The Grinder.)

InsecureSSLContextFactory

public InsecureSSLContextFactory(KeyManager[] keyManagers)

Constructor.

Parameters:

keyManagers - The sources of authentication keys.

InsecureSSLContextFactory

public InsecureSSLContextFactory(InputStream keyStoreStream,
                         char[] keyStorePassword,
                         String keyStoreType)
                          throws GeneralSecurityException,
                                 IOException

Constructor.

Parameters:

keyStoreStream - Key Store input stream. A key store is read from the stream, but the stream is not closed.

keyStorePassword - Key Store password, or null.

keyStoreType - Key Store type.

Throws:

GeneralSecurityException - If the JSSE could not load the key store.

IOException - If the key store stream could not be read.

Method Detail

getSSLContext

public SSLContext getSSLContext()
                         throws SSLContextFactory.SSLContextFactoryException

Returns an appropriate JSSE SSLContext. This can be used to obtain an SSLSocketFactory.

The Grinder optimises client SSL processing to increase the number of simultaneous client threads it is reasonable to run. It uses an insecure source of random information, and does not perform checks on the certificates presented by a server. Do not use The Grinder to implement any SSL communication that you want to be secure.

Specified by:

getSSLContext in interface SSLContextFactory

Returns:

The SSL context.

Throws:

SSLContextFactory.SSLContextFactoryException - If the SSLContext could not be found/created.
