!!! Overview[1]
[{$pagename}] ([JKS]) is a [Trust Anchor Store] either [authorization] [certificates] or [Public Key] [certificates]
[{$pagename}], by default uses the filename extension of [jks|JKS] and is managed by [Keytool]
[{$pagename}] manages different types of [certificate] entries. There are three basic types of [{$pagename}] entries:
* KeyStore.PrivateKeyEntry - This type of entry holds a cryptographic [Private Key], which is optionally stored in a protected format to prevent unauthorized access. It is also accompanied by a [Certificate Chain] for the corresponding [Public Key]. Private keys and certificate chains are used by a given entity for self-authentication. Applications for this authentication include software distribution organizations which sign JAR files as part of releasing and/or licensing software.
* KeyStore.SecretKeyEntry - This type of entry holds a [cryptographic] SecretKey, which is optionally stored in a protected format to prevent unauthorized access.
* KeyStore.TrustedCertificateEntry - This type of entry contains a single [Public Key] Certificate belonging to another party. It is called a [Trusted Certificate] because the [{$pagename}] owner trusts that the [Public Key] in the [certificate] indeed belongs to the identity identified by the [subject|Certificate Subject] (owner) of the [certificate]. This type of entry can be used to authenticate other parties.
[Java] typically uses two different [{$pagename}]s
* [Keystores] - is a [{$pagename}] that contains [Private Keys] and [certificates] used by [TLS]/[SSL] [servers] or [clients] to authenticate themselves to [TLS]/[SSL] others. By convention, such files are referred to as keystores. (KeyStore.PrivateKeyEntry) There is no specific location published as we can determine.
* [Truststores] - is a [{$pagename}] where [certificates] of trusted [TLS]/[SSL] [servers], or of [Certificate Authorities|Certificate Authority] [trusted] to identify others. There are __NO__ [Private Keys] in the truststore. (default is $[JAVA_HOME]/jre/lib/security/cacerts)
