Java 5 out of the box only supports TLSv1, which is horrible
obsolete (only TLS v1.2 and TLS v1.3 are acceptable).

But luckily the Java encryption model is pretty flexible and
by just tweaking the command line one can instruct Java to use
a newer encryption provider like BouncyCastle.

BC 159 supports TLS 1.2
BC 168 supports TLS 1.2 and 1.3

Testet on VMS Alpha.
