Class IAIKKeyStore

java.lang.Object

java.security.KeyStoreSpi

iaik.security.keystore.IAIKKeyStore

public final class IAIKKeyStore
extends java.security.KeyStoreSpi

This class implements the Service Provider Interface (SPI) for the KeyStore class. The KeyStore provides privacy and integrity when saving private keys, secret keys, and certificates.

If you want to instantiate an IAIKKeyStore object, specify keystore type and package provider.

    KeyStore ks = KeyStore.getInstance("IAIKKeyStore", "IAIK");
 

Before a IAIKKeyStore can be used, it must be loaded. You must even load the IAIKKeyStore in the case you instantiate a new empty IAIKKeyStore object.

    ks.load(inputStream, password);
 

If you instantiate a new empty IAIKKeyStore object, the parameters shall be null.

    ks.load(null, null);
 

Details on the IAIK KeyStore implementation:

The IAIK implementation of the KeyStore uses the password based key derivation function 2 from the PKCS#5 v2.0: Password-Based Cryptography Standard . You can get this document from: http://www.imc.org/rfc2898.

The private and secret keys are encrypted with the triple DES cipher in cipher block chaining mode. The integrity of the KeyStore, when written to disk, is provided by applying HMAC-SHA-1. This algorithm is described in rfc2104.txt

Abstract Syntax Notation 1and Distinguished Encoding Rules are used, when the KeyStore is written to disk.

                       throws java.security.KeyStoreException

Assigns the given key (that has already been protected) to the given alias. The key must be a DER encoded EncryptedPrivateKeyInfo. Note: You can also store a EncryptedPrivateKeyInfo with method engineSetKeyEntry(alias, key, password, chain)

If the given alias already exists, the keystore information associated with it is overridden by the given key (and possibly certificate chain).

If the given alias already exists in this keystore and identifies a trusted certificate entry, the certificate associated with it is overridden by the given certificate.

Specified by:

engineSetCertificateEntry in class java.security.KeyStoreSpi

Parameters:

alias - the alias name
