Pavan,

1. Use of SSL certification,

Please search on SAP Help / SDN.

2.  if an PI 7.1 system want to communicate with legacy system, is this enough to apply the ssl certificate on ABAP side or  
 weather we need to apply on java side also

Certificate will be installed in VA / NWA. If it's a CA certificate, then import the certificate in CA view. If it is a Client certificate, then create a view ICM_SSL_xxx (or re-use a view with the name ICM_SSL_xxx, it doesn't matter).

3.From which site we need to download these certificates

The certificate should be provided from your receiving party.

4. please mention the procedure to apply ssl certificate also.
5. difference between ssl certificate and digital certificate

Please search on SAP Help / SDN.
