encrypted chat java

I'm coding a Chat system in java with an encrypted tcp connection.

I understand that I have to use SSL sockets, but besides that how would the code differ from a normal chat system without the encryption? So besides the SSL object, is there anything I need to consider?

Thanks for the help

SSL is a transport layer security protocol. it will ensure that your packets are not legible to an eavesdropper (man in the middle).

I would recommend you also incorporate your own application layer security for example to verify the person who you are talking to.
