Java Keystore

Java Keystore (JKS) stores cryptographic keys and certificates for Java apps.

Key Features:
File Format: JKS files have the .jks extension and are protected by a password. The file contains keys and certificates in an encrypted format to prevent unauthorized access.
Entries:
Private Key Entries: These include a private key and its associated certificate chain. They are used for cryptographic operations such as signing data or establishing secure connections.
Trusted Certificate Entries: These store public certificates from trusted entities. They are used to verify the authenticity of digital signatures or secure communications.
Encryption: JKS files use a password-based encryption scheme to secure the keys and certificates. This ensures that only authorized users with the correct password can access the contents.
