Is ActiveMQ built on top of / wraps around JSSE, or does it implement its own secure connections?

Question

I've used ActiveMQ in the past for nonsecure connections.

I now have to write a secure distributed application, and was required to "write it on top of JSSE".

I'm wondering whether using JMS and ActiveMQ will transparently let me do that, or whether ActiveMQ has its own implementation for SSL, authentication, etc.
