WAS v8.5 > New features > New features overview: SecuringWhat is new for security specialists
This version contains many new and changed features for those who are responsible for securing applications and the application serving environment.
- WAS security standards configurations
WAS integrates cryptographic modules, which include JSSE and Java Cryptography Extension (JCE). Most of the requirements in the standards are handled in the JSSE and JCE, which must undergo the certification process to meet government standards. WAS must be configured to run with the JSSE and JCE enabled for a particular standard, and now supports the FIPS 140-2, SP800-131 and Suite B security standards.
