Microsoft JDBC and SSL Support

What is Microsoft's plan for adding SSL support into their JDBC driver?
From what limited information I could find on the web, it appears
Microsoft has no plans to ever support it! If they are not going to
support it is there any way I can get the protocol definition so I can
begin developing a solution myself?
Am I even in the right place to ask such a question? Any Microsoft
employees here or is everyone here just a user and at the complete mercy
of Microsoft like I am?
Brett:
There are no plans to add SSL support to the current MS SQL Server 2000
Driver for JDBC. However, we do plan to have new driver for SQL Server 2005
and SSL on the feature list.

|||Hi - regarding the new JDBC driver for SQL 2005. Is that planned to be
an upgrade to the current driver or a "new" driver as indicated by
your post?
- If new, will that driver be compatible with SQL 2000?
- Is there a beta version of the driver we can try with SQL 2005? We
have SQL 2005 Beta 2 but found no JDBC driver bundled there. When will
the SQL 2005 JDBC driver be available for beta testing with SQL 2005
please?
thanks

There isn't a beta version of the SQL Server 2005 driver to test yet, but as
soon as we know the timeline for this driver we'll post details to this
board.
