QSslSocket is a class in the qt library that provides a Secure Sockets Layer ( ssl)-encrypted network socket. It is part of the QtNetwork module and was introduced in Qt 4.3.

The most common way to use QSslSocket is to construct an object and start a secure connection by calling connectToHostEncrypted(). This method starts an immediate SSL handshake once the connection has been established.
