+<p>The Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)—now technically known as <a
+href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transport_Layer_Security">Transport Layer Security
+(TLS)</a>—is a
+common building block for encrypted communications between clients and servers. It's possible that
+an application might use SSL incorrectly such that malicious entities may
+be able to intercept an app's data over the network. To help you ensure that this does not happen
+to your app, this article highlights the common pitfalls when using secure network protocols and addresses some larger concerns about using <a
+href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public-key_infrastructure">Public-Key Infrastructure (PKI)</a>.
+
+
+<h2 id="Concepts">Concepts</h2>
+
+<p>In a typical SSL usage scenario, a server is configured with a certificate containing a
+public key as well as a matching private key. As part of the handshake between an SSL client
+and server, the server proves it has the private key by signing its certificate with <a
+href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public-key_cryptography">public-key cryptography</a>.</p>
+
+<p>However, anyone can generate their own certificate and private key, so a simple handshake
+doesn't prove anything about the server other than that the server knows the private key that
+matches the public key of the certificate. One way to solve this problem is to have the client
+have a set of one or more certificates it trusts. If the certificate is not in the set, the
+server is not to be trusted.</p>
+
+<p>There are several downsides to this simple approach. Servers should be able to
+upgrade to stronger keys over time ("key rotation"), which replaces the public key in the
+certificate with a new one. Unfortunately, now the client app has to be updated due to what
+is essentially a server configuration change. This is especially problematic if the server
+is not under the app developer's control, for example if it is a third party web service. This
+approach also has issues if the app has to talk to arbitrary servers such as a web browser or
+email app.</p>
+
+<p>In order to address these downsides, servers are typically configured with certificates
+from well known issuers called <a
+href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Certificate_authority">Certificate Authorities (CAs)</a>.
+The host platform generally contains a list of well known CAs that it trusts.
+As of Android 4.2 (Jelly Bean), Android currently contains over 100 CAs that are updated
+in each release. Similar to a server, a CA has a certificate and a private key. When issuing
+a certificate for a server, the CA <a
+href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_signature">signs</a>
+the server certificate using its private key. The
+client can then verify that the server has a certificate issued by a CA known to the platform.</p>
+
+<p>However, while solving some problems, using CAs introduces another. Because the CA issues
+certificates for many servers, you still need some way to make sure you are talking to the
+server you want. To address this, the certificate issued by the CA identifies the server
+either with a specific name such as <em>gmail.com</em> or a wildcarded set of
+hosts such as <em>*.google.com</em>. </p>
+
+<p>The following example will make these concepts a little more concrete. In the snippet below
+from a command line, the <a href="http://www.openssl.org/docs/apps/openssl.html">{@code openssl}</a>
+tool's {@code s_client} command looks at Wikipedia's server certificate information. It
+specifies port 443 because that is the default for <acronym title="Hypertext Transfer
+Protocol Secure">HTTPS</acronym>. The command sends
+the output of {@code openssl s_client} to {@code openssl x509}, which formats information
+about certificates according to the <a
+href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X.509">X.509 standard</a>. Specifically,
+the command asks for the subject, which contains the server name information,
+and the issuer, which identifies the CA.</p>
+
+<pre class="no-pretty-print">
+$ openssl s_client -connect wikipedia.org:443 | openssl x509 -noout -subject -issuer
+<b>subject=</b> /serialNumber=sOrr2rKpMVP70Z6E9BT5reY008SJEdYv/C=US/O=*.wikipedia.org/OU=GT03314600/OU=See www.rapidssl.com/resources/cps (c)11/OU=Domain Control Validated - RapidSSL(R)/<b>CN=*.wikipedia.org</b>
+<b>issuer=</b> /C=US/O=GeoTrust, Inc./CN=<b>RapidSSL CA</b>
+</pre>
+
+<p>You can see that the certificate was issued for servers matching <em>*.wikipedia.org</em> by
+the RapidSSL CA.</p>
+
+
+
+<h2 id="HttpsExample">An HTTPS Example</h2>
+
+<p>Assuming you have a web server with a
+certificate issued by a well known CA, you can make a secure request with code as
+simple this:</p>
+
+<pre>
+URL url = new URL("https://wikipedia.org");
+URLConnection urlConnection = url.openConnection();
+InputStream in = urlConnection.getInputStream();
+copyInputStreamToOutputStream(in, System.out);
+</pre>
+
+<p>Yes, it really can be that simple. If you want to tailor the HTTP request, you can cast to
+an {@link java.net.HttpURLConnection}. The Android documentation for
+{@link java.net.HttpURLConnection} has further examples about how to deal with request
+and response headers, posting content, managing cookies, using proxies, caching responses,
+and so on. But in terms of the details for verifying certificates and hostnames, the Android
+framework takes care of it for you through these APIs.
+This is where you want to be if at all possible. That said, below are some other considerations.</p>
+
+
+
+<h2 id="CommonProblems">Common Problems Verifying Server Certificates</h2>
+
+<p>Suppose instead of receiving the content from {@link java.net.URLConnection#getInputStream
+getInputStream()}, it throws an exception:</p>
+
+<pre class="no-pretty-print">
+javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: java.security.cert.CertPathValidatorException: Trust anchor for certification path not found.

+</pre>
+
+<p>This can happen for several reasons, including:
+<ol>
+ <li><a href="#UnknownCa">The CA that issued the server certificate was unknown</a></li>
+ <li><a href="#SelfSigned">The server certificate wasn't signed by a CA, but was self signed</a></li>
+ <li><a href="#MissingCa">The server configuration is missing an intermediate CA</a></li>
+</ol>
+
+<p>The following sections discuss how to address these problems while keeping your
+connection to the server secure.
+
+
+
+<h3 id="UnknownCa">Unknown certificate authority</h3>
+
+<p>In this case, the {@link javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException} occurs
+because you have a CA that isn't trusted by the system. It could be because
+you have a certificate from a new CA that isn't yet trusted by Android or your app is
+running on an older version without the CA. More often a CA is unknown because it isn't a
+public CA, but a private one issued by an organization such as a government, corporation,
+or education institution for their own use.</p>
+
+<p>Fortunately, you can teach {@link javax.net.ssl.HttpsURLConnection}
+to trust a specific set of CAs. The procedure
+can be a little convoluted, so below is an example that takes a specific CA from
+an {@link java.io.InputStream}, uses it to create a {@link java.security.KeyStore},
+which is then used to create and initialize a
+{@link javax.net.ssl.TrustManager}. A {@link javax.net.ssl.TrustManager} is what the system
+uses to validate certificates from the server
+and—by creating one from a {@link java.security.KeyStore} with one or more CAs—those
+will be the only CAs trusted by that {@link javax.net.ssl.TrustManager}.</p>
+
+<p>Given the new {@link javax.net.ssl.TrustManager},
+the example initializes a new {@link javax.net.ssl.SSLContext} which provides
+an {@link javax.net.ssl.SSLSocketFactory} you can use to override the default
+{@link javax.net.ssl.SSLSocketFactory} from
+{@link javax.net.ssl.HttpsURLConnection}. This way the
+connection will use your CAs for certificate validation.</p>
+
+<p>Here is the example in
+full using an organizational CA from the University of Washington:</p>
+
+<pre>
+// Load CAs from an InputStream
+// (could be from a resource or ByteArrayInputStream or ...)
+CertificateFactory cf = CertificateFactory.getInstance("X.509");
+// From https://www.washington.edu/itconnect/security/ca/load-der.crt
+InputStream caInput = new BufferedInputStream(new FileInputStream("load-der.crt"));
+Certificate ca;
+try {
+ ca = cf.generateCertificate(caInput);
+ System.out.println("ca=" + ((X509Certificate) ca).getSubjectDN());
+} finally {
+ caInput.close();
+}
+
+// Create a KeyStore containing our trusted CAs
+String keyStoreType = KeyStore.getDefaultType();
+KeyStore keyStore = KeyStore.getInstance(keyStoreType);
+keyStore.load(null, null);
+keyStore.setCertificateEntry("ca", ca);
+
+// Create a TrustManager that trusts the CAs in our KeyStore
+String tmfAlgorithm = TrustManagerFactory.getDefaultAlgorithm();
+TrustManagerFactory tmf = TrustManagerFactory.getInstance(tmfAlgorithm);
+tmf.init(keyStore);
+
+// Create an SSLContext that uses our TrustManager
+SSLContext context = SSLContext.getInstance("TLS");
+context.init(null, tmf.getTrustManagers(), null);
+
+// Tell the URLConnection to use a SocketFactory from our SSLContext
+URL url = new URL("https://certs.cac.washington.edu/CAtest/");
+HttpsURLConnection urlConnection =
+ (HttpsURLConnection)url.openConnection();
+urlConnection.setSSLSocketFactory(context.getSocketFactory());
+InputStream in = urlConnection.getInputStream();
+copyInputStreamToOutputStream(in, System.out);
+</pre>
+
+<p>With a custom {@link javax.net.ssl.TrustManager} that knows about your CAs,
+the system is able to validate
+that your server certificate come from a trusted issuer.</p>
+
+<p class="caution"><strong>Caution:</strong>
+Many web sites describe a poor alternative solution which is to install a
+{@link javax.net.ssl.TrustManager} that does nothing. If you do this you might as well not
+be encrypting your communication, because anyone can attack your users at a public Wi-Fi hotspot
+by using <acronym title="Domain Name System">DNS</acronym> tricks to send your users'
+traffic through a proxy of their own that pretends to be your server. The attacker can then
+record passwords and other personal data. This works because the attacker can generate a
+certificate and—without a {@link javax.net.ssl.TrustManager} that actually
+validates that the certificate comes from a trusted
+source—your app could be talking to anyone. So don't do this, not even temporarily. You can
+always make your app trust the issuer of the server's certificate, so just do it.</p>
+
+
+
+<h3 id="SelfSigned">Self-signed server certificate</h3>
+
+<p>The second case of {@link javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException} is
+due to a self-signed certificate, which means the server is behaving as its own CA.
+This is similar to an unknown certificate authority, so you can use the
+same approach from the previous section.</p>
+
+<p>You can create yout own {@link javax.net.ssl.TrustManager},
+this time trusting the server certificate directly. This has all of the
+downsides discussed earlier of tying your app directly to a certificate, but can be done
+securely. However, you should be careful to make sure your self-signed certificate has a
+reasonably strong key. As of 2012, a 2048-bit RSA signature with an exponent of 65537 expiring
+yearly is acceptable. When rotating keys, you should check for <a
+href="http://csrc.nist.gov/groups/ST/key_mgmt/index.html">recommendations</a> from an
+authority (such as <a href="http://www.nist.gov/">NIST</a>) about what is acceptable.</p>
+
+
+
+<h3 id="MissingCa">Missing intermediate certificate authority</h3>
+
+<p>The third case of {@link javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException}
+occurs due to a missing intermediate CA. Most public
+CAs don't sign server certificates directly. Instead, they use their main CA certificate,
+referred to as the root CA, to sign intermediate CAs. They do this so the root CA can be stored
+offline to reduce risk of compromise. However, operating systems like Android typically
+trust only root CAs directly, which leaves a short gap of trust between the server
+certificate—signed by the intermediate CA—and the certificate verifier,
+which knows the root CA. To solve
+this, the server doesn't send the client only it's certificate during the SSL handshake, but
+a chain of certificates from the server CA through any intermediates necessary to reach a
+trusted root CA.</p>
+
+<p>To see what this looks like in practice, here's the <em>mail.google.com</em> certificate
+chain as viewed by the <a href="http://www.openssl.org/docs/apps/openssl.html">{@code openssl}</a>
+{@code s_client} command:</p>
+
+<pre class="no-pretty-print">
+$ openssl s_client -connect mail.google.com:443
+---
+Certificate chain
+ 0 s:/C=US/ST=California/L=Mountain View/O=Google Inc/CN=mail.google.com
+ i:/C=ZA/O=Thawte Consulting (Pty) Ltd./CN=Thawte SGC CA
+ 1 s:/C=ZA/O=Thawte Consulting (Pty) Ltd./CN=Thawte SGC CA
+ i:/C=US/O=VeriSign, Inc./OU=Class 3 Public Primary Certification Authority
+---
+</pre>
+
+
+<p>This shows that the server sends a certificate for <em>mail.google.com</em>
+issued by the <em>Thawte SGC</em> CA, which is an intermediate CA, and a second certificate
+for the <em>Thawte SGC</em> CA issued by a <em>Verisign</em> CA, which is the primary CA that's
+trusted by Android.</p>
+
+<p>However, it is not uncommon to configure a server to not include the necessary
+intermediate CA. For example, here is a server that can cause an error in Android browsers and
+exceptions in Android apps:</p>
+
+<pre class="no-pretty-print">
+$ openssl s_client -connect egov.uscis.gov:443
+---
+Certificate chain
+ 0 s:/C=US/ST=District Of Columbia/L=Washington/O=U.S. Department of Homeland Security/OU=United States Citizenship and Immigration Services/OU=Terms of use at www.verisign.com/rpa (c)05/CN=egov.uscis.gov
+ i:/C=US/O=VeriSign, Inc./OU=VeriSign Trust Network/OU=Terms of use at https://www.verisign.com/rpa (c)10/CN=VeriSign Class 3 International Server CA - G3
+---
+</pre>
+
+<p>What is interesting to note here is that visiting this server in most desktop browsers
+does not cause an error like a completely unknown CA or self-signed server certificate would
+cause. This is because most desktop browsers cache trusted intermediate CAs over time. Once
+a browser has visited and learned about an intermediate CA from one site, it won't
+need to have the intermediate CA included in the certificate chain the next time.</p>
+
+<p>Some sites do this intentionally for secondary web servers used to serve resources. For
+example, they might have their main HTML page served by a server with a full certificate
+chain, but have servers for resources such as images, CSS, or JavaScript not include the
+CA, presumably to save bandwidth. Unfortunately, sometimes these servers might be providing
+a web service you are trying to call from your Android app, which is not as forgiving.</p>
+
+<p>There are two approaches to solve this issue:</p>
+<ul>
+ <li>Configure the server to
+ include the intermediate CA in the server chain. Most CAs provide documentation on how to do
+ this for all common web servers. This is the only approach if you need the site to work with
+ default Android browsers at least through Android 4.2.</li>
+ <li>Or, treat the
+ intermediate CA like any other unknown CA, and create a {@link javax.net.ssl.TrustManager}
+ to trust it directly, as done in the previous two sections.</li>
+</ul>
+
+
+<h2 id="CommonHostnameProbs">Common Problems with Hostname Verification</h2>
+
+<p>As mentioned at the beginning of this article,
+there are two key parts to verifying an SSL connection. The first
+is to verify the certificate is from a trusted source, which was the focus of the previous
+section. The focus of this section is the second part: making sure the server you are
+talking to presents the right certificate. When it doesn't, you'll typically see an error
+like this:</p>
+
+<pre class="no-pretty-print">
+java.io.IOException: Hostname 'example.com' was not verified
+ at libcore.net.http.HttpConnection.verifySecureSocketHostname(HttpConnection.java:223)
+ at libcore.net.http.HttpsURLConnectionImpl$HttpsEngine.connect(HttpsURLConnectionImpl.java:446)
+ at libcore.net.http.HttpEngine.sendSocketRequest(HttpEngine.java:290)
+ at libcore.net.http.HttpEngine.sendRequest(HttpEngine.java:240)
+ at libcore.net.http.HttpURLConnectionImpl.getResponse(HttpURLConnectionImpl.java:282)
+ at libcore.net.http.HttpURLConnectionImpl.getInputStream(HttpURLConnectionImpl.java:177)
+ at libcore.net.http.HttpsURLConnectionImpl.getInputStream(HttpsURLConnectionImpl.java:271)
+</pre>
+
+
+<p>One reason this can happen is due to a server configuration error. The server is
+configured with a certificate that does not have a subject or subject alternative name fields
+that match the server you are trying to reach. It is possible to have one certificate be used
+with many different servers. For example, looking at the <em>google.com</em> certificate with
+<a href="http://www.openssl.org/docs/apps/openssl.html">{@code openssl}</a> {@code
+s_client -connect google.com:443 | openssl x509 -text} you can see that a subject
+that supports <em>*.google.com</em> but also subject alternative names for <em>*.youtube.com</em>,
+<em>*.android.com</em>, and others. The error occurs only when the server name you
+are connecting to isn't listed by the certificate as acceptable.</p>
+
+<p>Unfortunately this can happen for another reason as well: <a
+href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_hosting">virtual hosting</a>. When sharing a
+server for more than one hostname with HTTP, the web server can tell from the HTTP/1.1 request
+which target hostname the client is looking for. Unfortunately this is complicated with
+HTTPS, because the server has to know which certificate to return before it sees the HTTP
+request. To address this problem, newer versions of SSL, specifically TLSv.1.0 and later,
+support <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Server_Name_Indication">Server Name Indication
+(SNI)</a>, which allows the SSL client to specify the intended
+hostname to the server so the proper certificate can be returned.</p>
+
+<p>Fortunately, {@link javax.net.ssl.HttpsURLConnection} supports
+SNI since Android 2.3. Unfortunately, Apache
+HTTP Client does not, which is one of the many reasons we discourage its use. One workaround
+if you need to support Android 2.2 (and older) or Apache HTTP Client is to set up an alternative
+virtual host on a unique port so that it's unambiguous which server certificate to return.</p>
+
+<p>The more drastic alternative is to replace {@link javax.net.ssl.HostnameVerifier}
+with one that uses not the
+hostname of your virtual host, but the one returned by the server by default.</p>
+
+<p class="caution"><strong>Caution:</strong> Replacing {@link javax.net.ssl.HostnameVerifier}
+can be <strong>very dangerous</strong> if the other virtual host is
+not under your control, because a man-in-the-middle attack could direct traffic to another
+server without your knowledge.</p>
+
+<p>If you are still sure you want to override hostname verification, here is an example
+that replaces the verifier for a single {@link java.net.URLConnection}
+with one that still verifies that the hostname is at least on expected by the app:</p>
+
+<pre>
+// Create an HostnameVerifier that hardwires the expected hostname.
+// Note that is different than the URL's hostname:
+// example.com versus example.org
+HostnameVerifier hostnameVerifier = new HostnameVerifier() {
+ @Override
+ public boolean verify(String hostname, SSLSession session) {
+ HostnameVerifier hv =
+ HttpsURLConnection.getDefaultHostnameVerifier();
+ return hv.verify("example.com", session);
+ }
+};
+
+// Tell the URLConnection to use our HostnameVerifier
+URL url = new URL("https://example.org/");
+HttpsURLConnection urlConnection =
+ (HttpsURLConnection)url.openConnection();
+urlConnection.setHostnameVerifier(hostnameVerifier);
+InputStream in = urlConnection.getInputStream();
+copyInputStreamToOutputStream(in, System.out);
+</pre>
+
+<p>But remember, if you find yourself replacing hostname verification, especially
+due to virtual hosting, it's still <strong>very dangerous</strong> if the other virtual host is
+not under your control and you should find an alternative hosting arrangement
+that avoids this issue.</p>
+
+
+
+
+<h2 id="WarningsSslSocket">Warnings About Using SSLSocket Directly</h2>
+
+<p>So far, the examples have focused on HTTPS using {@link javax.net.ssl.HttpsURLConnection}.
+Sometimes apps need to use SSL separate from HTTP. For example, an email app might use SSL variants
+of SMTP, POP3, or IMAP. In those cases, the app would want to use {@link javax.net.ssl.SSLSocket}
+directly, much the same way that {@link javax.net.ssl.HttpsURLConnection} does internally.</p>
+
+<p>The techniques described so
+far to deal with certificate verification issues also apply to {@link javax.net.ssl.SSLSocket}.
+In fact, when using a custom {@link javax.net.ssl.TrustManager}, what is passed to
+{@link javax.net.ssl.HttpsURLConnection} is an {@link javax.net.ssl.SSLSocketFactory}.
+So if you need to use a custom {@link javax.net.ssl.TrustManager} with an
+{@link javax.net.ssl.SSLSocket}, follow
+the same steps and use that {@link javax.net.ssl.SSLSocketFactory} to create your
+{@link javax.net.ssl.SSLSocket}.</p>
+
+<p class="caution"><strong>Caution:</strong>
+{@link javax.net.ssl.SSLSocket} <strong>does not</strong> perform hostname verification. It is
+up the your app to do its own hostname verification, preferably by calling {@link
+javax.net.ssl.HttpsURLConnection#getDefaultHostnameVerifier()} with the expected hostname. Further
+beware that {@link javax.net.ssl.HostnameVerifier#verify HostnameVerifier.verify()}
+doesn't throw an exception on error but instead returns a boolean result that you must
+explicitly check.</p>
+
+<p>Here is an example showing how you can do this. It shows that when connecting to
+<em>gmail.com</em> port 443 without SNI support, you'll receive a certificate for
+<em>mail.google.com</em>. This is expected in this case, so check to make sure that
+the certificate is indeed for <em>mail.google.com</em>:</p>
+
+<pre>
+// Open SSLSocket directly to gmail.com
+SocketFactory sf = SSLSocketFactory.getDefault();
+SSLSocket socket = (SSLSocket) sf.createSocket("gmail.com", 443);
+HostnameVerifier hv = HttpsURLConnection.getDefaultHostnameVerifier();
+SSLSession s = socket.getSession();
+
+// Verify that the certicate hostname is for mail.google.com
+// This is due to lack of SNI support in the current SSLSocket.
+if (!hv.verify("mail.google.com", s)) {
+ throw new SSLHandshakeException("Expected mail.google.com, "
+ "found " + s.getPeerPrincipal());
+}
+
+// At this point SSLSocket performed certificate verificaiton and
+// we have performed hostname verification, so it is safe to proceed.
+
+// ... use socket ...
+socket.close();
+</pre>
+
+
+
+<h2 id="Blacklisting">Blacklisting</h2>
+
+<p>SSL relies heavily on CAs to issue certificates to only the properly verified owners
+of servers and domains. In rare cases, CAs are either tricked or, in the case of <a
+href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comodo_Group#Breach_of_security">Comodo</a> or <a
+href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DigiNotar">DigiNotar</a>, breached,
+resulting in the certificates for a hostname to be issued to
+someone other than the owner of the server or domain.</p>
+
+<p>In order to mitigate this risk, Android has the ability to blacklist certain certificates or even
+whole CAs. While this list was historically built into the operating system, starting in
+Android 4.2 this list can be remotely updated to deal with future compromises.</p>
+
+
+
+<h2 id="Pinning">Pinning</h2>
+
+<p>An app can further protect itself from fraudulently issued certificates by a
+technique known as pinning. This is basically using the example provided in the unknown CA case

+<p>This article has focused on the user of SSL to secure communications with servers. SSL also
+supports the notion of client certificates that allow the server to validate the identity of a
+client. While beyond the scope of this article, the techniques involved are similar to specifying
+a custom {@link javax.net.ssl.TrustManager}.
+See the discussion about creating a custom {@link javax.net.ssl.KeyManager} in the documentation for
+{@link javax.net.ssl.HttpsURLConnection}.</p>
