Is there any JDBC support for encrypted or secured communication
(specifically for SQLServer or Oracle) or for any other database?

thanks and regards

That's outside the standard JDBC interface. It depends entirely on the individual JDBC
driver and DBMS backend. Check your vendor's docs.

I do know that the standard JDBC driver for MySQL does support SSL.

Thanks. Where can one make suggestions for this to be added to JDBC
specs? It would be potential security issue when Sarbanes-Oxley and
other acts are asking for every communication to be secure etc.

there is no need to ask for them to be added. JDBC is just a collection
of interfaces. As the other guy mentioned, it is the responsibility
of the driver and database to recognize and support such functionality.

The connection URL is passed to the driver and as part of that URL you
can specify what features the driver is suppose to use. If the feature
is supported then the driver should take care of it.
