What Is A Keystore?

[Amaresh]

Hello, recently I have started to learn the java Programming language and now while working on it, I have got confused about the Keystore. If anyone is having more information about it, then please provide me that. I have checked the details but, not able to get anything. So, please help me to know What is a Keystore?

A software developer while creating any software need to see the problem than working on the obtuse command-line tools. KeyStore Explorer can be used to create and navigate KeyStores via its intuitive graphical interface. The contents of KeyStores can be created and modified, imported and exported using just a few simple dialogs. With KeyStore Explorer difficult security tasks such as key pair generation and code signing become quick and simple.

If you consider the Keystore in java then it is the presentation of the in memory collection of different sort of keys and certificates. If you take into account then you will come to know that it provides the two types of entries:

• Key Entry
• Trusted Certificate Entry

If you want to create a Keystore then you must need to follow the steps below:

• First start the iKeyman utility.
• Then you may need to create the new key database file.
• From the list you must need to select the Key Database Type.
• Then just type the filename and location.
• Click on continue.
• If you want to restrict any modification then just type the password and protect it.
• Then again click on OK.

Hello, I have got the code below which may help you to get the keystore:

JTextAreaPrintStream mps = new JTextAreaPrintStream(System.out);
mps.setOut(ta_demande_result);
System.setOut(mps);
 
Final String[] arguments = new String[]
{
	"one"
	,"alias","clepriv"
	,"keypass", mdp
,"storepass", mdp
,"keystore", chemin_keystore
,"keyalg","RSA"
	,"dname", Dname
};
new Thread(new Runnable() 
{
	Public void run() 
{
		try
{
Keytool.hand(arguments);
if(ta_demande_result.getText().contains("java.lang.Exception"))
System.out.System.out.println("Key not generated");
else
System.out.System.out.println("Key generated");
}
catch(Exception e){
			System.out.System.out.println(e.getMessage());
e.printStackTrace();
		 }
	}
}).home();

Why not simply test for the existence of keystore via a File with the code below:

File keystoreFile = new File(chemin_keystore);
if(keystoreFile.exists()) 
{
    / / The keystore already exists.
}

After you see if you want to overwrite or not keysotre.
