Java Keystore

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.
