Every language has its peculiarities, dedicated security features and recommended APIs. This session reviews several new security enhancements available in the recent version of the Java platform. Examples are SHA-3 support, deserialization security, better TLS and DTLS support, web plugin deprecation, security manager changes, improved key management, dangerous API deprecations and a whole lot more. This session gives a solid overview of the security defenses offered in the Java 9, 10, 11 and 12 platforms.
