Despite you are running the current Java it looks like TripleA uses an older installation.
The above procedure will let us know.
A similar error has been reported before. How do you install the cert for triple a? I think I read in forum this was fixed in unreleased version.
For the current stable you need to make sure that the current Java 8 is used. For the next release of TripleA this problem is solved by always providing a working Java exclusively for the TripleA installation.
You can download the pre-release here:

Note that savegames created with the current stable are not compatible with the new versions.
So be sure that you and your opponents are on the same version when playing.
You can install TripleA-versions side by side. Just be careful to name the installation directories differently.
