keystore

I know that encrypted passwords can be stored in the web.config or hashed and salted passwords can be stored in a database, but is it possible to store passwords in something like a keystore? Would a keystore even be a good idea to store 'service account' passwords that are needed by an application? The closest analogue to a Java keystore in .NET/Windows world is DPAPI ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_Protection_API ). It stores encrypted values in the Windows registry, with the encryption key derived from system or user account level secrets. It is in fairly wide use, though a paper was

I have a Tomcat server with a certificate chain for HTTPS stored in a Java keystore. The chain includes the self-signed root CA certificate. Although this is apparently okay by the TLS spec , some validation services warn about it, and it's probably better to leave it off . How can I edit the keystore to remove just the self-signed root CA certificate, but leave the rest of the chain and the private key intact? First, convert the keystore from JKS to PKCS12 (this and other commands will require password entry): keytool -importkeystore -srckeystore old.jks -destkeystore old.p12 -deststoretype

Hello fellow android coders. I'm trying to do a https secure call from my android code. The call goes fine on the emulator but on the actual Samsung Galaxy device I get a SSL error. I used crazy bobs method for handling the cetificate. Here is crazy bobs link: http://blog.crazybob.org/2010/02/android-trusting-ssl-certificates.html . Problem is I get an error: "wrong version of keystore" inside the custom SSLSocketFactory object. Any suggestions on what to do to fix this? Thanks. Did you create your keystore with the Bouncy Castle format? All these 3 parameters are mandatory when creating the

i am using the AndroidKeyStore to generate a RSA key pair, which are used to encrypt/decrypt the internal data. The code which does that is as follows - it tries to retrieve the existing RSA key pair (via an alias ). If none exists then it tries to generate a new one. the code is as - private void initializePublicPrivateKeys(){ try { KeyStore keyStore = KeyStore.getInstance("AndroidKeyStore"); keyStore.load(null); KeyStore.PrivateKeyEntry entry = (KeyStore.PrivateKeyEntry) keyStore.getEntry(APP_RSA_KEY_PAIR_SECRET_ALIAS, null); _app_privateRSAKey = entry.getPrivateKey(); _app_publicRSAKey =

I've converted a JKS keystore to the P12 format using portecle, but it probably didn't go well. The keystore works with Java 8 (various versions), but with Java 9 (OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 9-internal+0-2016-04-14-195246.buildd.src, mixed mode), I'm getting java.io.IOException: Invalid keystore format at sun.security.provider.JavaKeyStore.engineLoad(java.base@9-internal/JavaKeyStore.java:659) at sun.security.util.KeyStoreDelegator.engineLoad(java.base@9-internal/KeyStoreDelegator.java:219) at java.security.KeyStore.load(java.base@9-internal/KeyStore.java:1466) at org.eclipse.jetty.util

I am using KeyStore to protect my private key but when the line: FileOutputStream fos = ctx.openFileOutput("bs.keystore", Context.MODE_PRIVATE); is executed I have this exception: 'java.lang.NullPointerException'. I don't understand where is the problem. Code: private Context ctx; public DataSec(Context ctx) { ctx = this.ctx; } public void genKey() throws Exception { SecretKey key = KeyGenerator.getInstance("AES").generateKey(); KeyStore ks = KeyStore.getInstance(KeyStore.getDefaultType()); ks.load(null, "clavedekey".toCharArray()); PasswordProtection pass = new PasswordProtection("fedsgjk"
