If I have: System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.keyStore", '/etc/certificates/fdms/WS1001237590._.1.ks'); System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.keyStorePassword", 'DV8u4xRVDq'); System.setProperty("sun.security.ssl.allowUnsafeRenegotiation", "true"); I'm able to open a secure connection without a problem. However, I'd like to have the certi...
I'm working with java keystores for the first time. Is there a standard extension / suffix for a keystore? Are they typically named .ks? If it's a java keystore am I supposed to use .jks? I would like to follow a naming convention if one is generally accepted. ...
I've got an application which generates SecretKeys, one per client. These need to be persisted in our database. I'm REALLY unfamiliar with common security patterns or implementations, and I'm looking for advice. The KeyStore class seems to be widely used, especially to protect SecretKeys. However, I've seen little mentioning using Ke...
setKeyEntry() allows a password to protect a single private key, and store() allows a password to encrypt the entire keyStore. I'm using pkcs12 keystore type with the BC as the provider, and I can't figure out what it's using for encryption. Am I able to specify the kind of encryption used in these methods? ...
I would like to be able to get access to all trusted root certificates programmatically in a Java app. I was looking at the keystore interface, but I'm hoping to get the list of trusted roots that's implicit with the JRE. Is this accessible anywhere? ...
Hi, I am using AES to accomplish symmetric-key encryption. I store the Key in a password protected KeyStore. the api exposes the following for loading the key from keystore keyStore.load(inputStream, keyStorePassword.toCharArray()); so everytime when i want to enrypt or decrypt , i have to pass the inputstream which is atleast in my...
Hi! I need to securely store private user data so it can persist across my app starts as well as device resets. This will be a String I guess about 1000 chars at maximum. I was told I can use RIM KeyStore API for this. Well, I spent hours googling out any gide on RIM KeyStore API usage. JDE samples do not contain anything useful on t...
I'm surprisingly frustrated by this, and I suspect the answer is simple. I have compiled and signed my android app using the Export Wizard, as described here in the section 'Compile and sign with Eclipse ADT'. I would like to backup the keystore and have it handy for future app updates, but I can't figure out for the life of me where t...
Is it possible to access certificates stored in the Local Machine store (rather than Current User) from a Java Servlet? I've tried using the MSCAPI provider opening the "Windows-MY" and "Windows-ROOT" stores, but neither contain certificates from the Local Machine store. ...
Our company purchased a code signing certificate from Thawte a few weeks ago. When we finally received the certificate from the purchasing team they didn't know the alias for the certificate! I don't seem to be able to import the cert without the alias and they have no clue at all what it is. Is there a way of retrieving the alias? H...
i got a .cer file which the request for was made from some other computer. i imported the certificate to my keystore and tried to sign the midlet using jarsign. and got this error: jarsigner: Certificate chain not found for: somealias. somealias must reference a valid KeyStore key entry containing a private key and corresponding public ...
Hi, I just came across TrueLicense Project API for licensing Java projects. I want to know are there any other similar APIs available? Please suggest me some. Also I am not familiar with the process of generating the keystore which is needed for this. Can anyone guide me about the process of generating .store file which is used in th...
Hi, I have a problem with java KeyStore. I am using SunMSCAPI Provider to retrieve certificates from Windows-MY keystore. I have two certifcates there, both have been issued with the same parameters (C, CN, IssuedBy...), but they have different validity. SunMSCAPI Provider assigns them the same aliases. When I want to get this certific...
Is there any way to prevent the "The application's digital signature cannot be verified" warning message from appearing when you run a Java application from the command line? I'm looking for a command line solution that would allow to start an application like this on a continuous integration server, so I need a solution that would not ...
My keystore has gone missing. I most likely deleted it by mistake, but I can't find it in my recycling bin. --My keystore was originally in my bin folder, not a good place for it as files get automatically deleted when publishing I know the details for the previous keystore... except maybe the date of expiry. I want to put an update o...
I am moving my site from a tomcat only instance to an apache httd/ apache tomcat setup. I'm trying to set up the ssl with mod_ssl on apache httpd. But I don't know how to convert my tomcat keystoreFile/keystorePass to the apache httpd SSLCertificateFile/SSLCertificateKeyFile format. I am pouring over the openssl man pages with no luck...
I'm developing on multiple computers. If I deploy to my phone directly from Eclipse on one computer, I can't deploy from the other without uninstalling first. I'm assuming this is because there is a debug certificate being used to sign the app, and they're not the same across the two machines. Is it possible to copy one over to the ot...

I'd like to import a new certificate into the keystore without restarting a running service. Is that possible? Alternatively, is it possible to specify a certificate to use that's not in the keystore for a specific URL connection? ...
What are the security implications of storing the keystore in a public repo, along with the source code? The reason for storing it in the repo is convenience. There are no dependencies when you do a 'git pull or clone' and build on your local machine (for e.g. with sbt sign-release): you just provide the password when prompted and a sig...
