Michael,

Weblogic (www.weblogic.com) has a type 3 JDBC driver that supports encryption (ssl) and supposedly also has an API for using your own type of authentication mechanism. I will be trying it out with Informix as soon as they release the Informix version - but they do have a type 3 JDBC Oracle driver available now
