Do Oracle JDBC drivers support SSL?
Yes, but the support is driver-specific. SSL encryption has been supported in the JDBC-OCI driver since Oracle JDBC 9.2.x, and is supported in the THIN driver starting in the 10.2. SSL authentication has been supported in the JDBC-OCI driver since Oracle JDBC 9.2.x, but is not yet supported in the Thin driver. Also note that when you use JDBC driver with SSL, the backend Oracle server should be at least 9.2.x.
