    Summary

    Java has grown into one of the most popular programming languages in the world and a stalwart technology for enterprise development and operational runtime systems since late 1990s. In 2021, the Java ecosystem saw the culmination of ongoing change and progression, particularly in its community leadership and the direction of the technology platform.This webinar will provide a conversational walk through the long-term viability of the Java programming model in supporting many of the applications organizations are looking to implement today and in the future. It presents an opportunity to track the course of Java's evolution through key milestones: OpenJDk, AdoptOpenJDK, Eclipse Adoptium and license updates. The discussion will look to simplify the Java landscape drawing on examples of organizations that are broadening the scope of Java's footprint. For those working with or looking to Java, the presentation will offer guidance and recommendations to new Java applications while showcasing improved opportunities with IBM Semeru Runtimes and IBM Runtimes for Business.

    Hi Mark,

    Thank you for your presentation. I'd like to ask about the FIPS compliance with  IBM Java Semeru. Could you explain a bit more in detail what is the current compliance status and possible further developments on the matter ?

    Thanks,

    Jesus

    Hi Jesus,
    Currently the IBM SDK for Java 7 and Java 8 have FIPS validated providers (IBMJCEFIPS, IBMJCEPlusFIPS). Semeru Runtimes currently does not include any support FIPS crypto. We're now working on providers for IBM Semeru Runtimes 11 and 17 (and forward) that can leverage existing FIPS 140-2 certifications, likely rolling out on the Linux x86 platform ahead of other platforms, but our goal is, of course, to have all platforms covered where our users require FIPS support. Obviously that support will have to deliver into one of the quarterly updates, but we're not ready to target a specific release yet. Of course, 140-2 certifications are being sunset by NIST and 140-3 certifications are in process, so we are also planning for and hoping to be ready for this transition with Semeru Runtimes.
