ZERTJSSE

zERT-enabled Java™ Secure Socket Extension (ZERTJSSE) is an IBM security provider that enables secure internet communications and gathers security information about those communications for reporting to z/OS® Encryption Readiness Technology (zERT). ZERTJSSE is a z/OS-specific provider that is supported in 31-bit and 64-bit releases of IBM® SDK, Java Technology Edition, from Version 8.

Overview

ZERTJSSE wraps the SunJSSE provider and notifies zERT when a change to the state of a secure session that is managed by SunJCE occurs. ZERTJSSE does not implement any JSSE functionality, instead it uses the SunJSSE provider to run JSSE operations. ZERTJSSE merely monitors the secure sessions that are managed by SunJSSE; the flow of data between the user and the SunJSSE provider is unchanged. For more information about the underlying JSSE implementation, see JSSE2 provider documentation.

Protocol limitations

The ZERTJSSE provider does not support TLSv1.3.
