This library implements ssl functionality in a way that is easy and flexible. it improves security by checking crls by default. it allows options to be set or unset for each sslsocketfactory. it supports many different formats of pkcs8 and openssl encrypted private keys, and it automatically detects the type of keymaterial or trustmaterial.

it's called "not-yet-commons-ssl" because of the intention of one day making it an official apache project. it currently has no affiliation with the apache software foundation.
