IBM Announces Java Security Tools

IBM has announced its Secure Shell Library for Java, a tool that automatically encrypts data transmitted from one computer to another (including passwords and information stored in files), and the Security Workbench Development Environment for Java, which lets you test, validate, and secure enterprise-level Java applications that support industry standards such as Java 2 and OSGi.

With Workbench, you can embed authorization and access privileges into the development processes when building new applications, thereby automating the manual work of testing-based approaches by generating suggested security policies without having to run the code.
