Making the JDK More Secure - New Features and Default Configuration

Explore how Oracle is enhancing JDK security in this 44-minute conference talk by Sean Mullan. Discover new JDK 9 security features, including SHA-3, OCSP stapling, DTLS, and DRBG SecureRandom. Learn about the default security configuration that protects applications from weak cryptographic algorithms and the disabling of SHA-1 certificates. Understand the cryptographic roadmap, Java security components, and the implementation of unlimited cryptographic policy by default. Gain insights into PKCS12 keystores, CPU instructions for GHASH and RSA, and TLS Application Layer Protocol Negotiation Extension. Examine the module system security features and their impact on Java application security in today's internet-connected world.
