Goal

Section 9.4.4 Setting Encryption and Integrity Parameters in Java of the JDBC Developer's Guide in able 9.3 lists the possible values for JDBC thin driver  encryption and integrity settings, and it lists only SHA1 for "CONNECTION_PROPERTY_THIN_NET_CHECKSUM_TYPES". SHA2 is  available on the server side when configuring sqlnet.ora native encryption. There are clients that only have JDBC thin driver and have to use native encryrption to communicate with the database, but the integrity checking has to be at least SHA2 to be compliant with the highest security protocols. Does the JDBC Thin driver support SHA2 for native encryption?
