Can I use the Security Toolkit for the Java Platform , z/OS Edition to establish an SSL/TLS session?
top) Yes. One example is the ability to create secure sessions between browser-based end users and IBM WebSphere®, running on z/OS. In this scenario, you can easily make use of Secure Sockets Layer (SSL, v.2, v.3) or its replacement, Transport Layer Security (TLS v. 1.0). Both are supported within the Java Toolkit. Using the supplied Java Secure Sockets Extension™ (JSSE) API within our Toolkit, you would be able to create Java Web applications that could safely communicate across a secure and encrypted channel (HTTPS). Our JSSE implementation gives you the ability to incorporate either server-based authentication or 2-way (mutual) authentication as part of your SSL/TLS solution.
