KeyStore

open class KeyStore

kotlin.Any
↳	java.security.KeyStore

This class represents a storage facility for cryptographic keys and certificates.

A KeyStore manages different types of entries. Each type of entry implements the KeyStore.Entry interface. Three basic KeyStore.Entry implementations are provided:

KeyStore.PrivateKeyEntry
This type of entry holds a cryptographic PrivateKey, 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 keystore owner trusts that the public key in the certificate indeed belongs to the identity identified by the subject (owner) of the certificate.

This type of entry can be used to authenticate other parties.

Each entry in a keystore is identified by an "alias" string. In the case of private keys and their associated certificate chains, these strings distinguish among the different ways in which the entity may authenticate itself. For example, the entity may authenticate itself using different certificate authorities, or using different public key algorithms.

Whether aliases are case sensitive is implementation dependent. In order to avoid problems, it is recommended not to use aliases in a KeyStore that only differ in case.

Whether keystores are persistent, and the mechanisms used by the keystore if it is persistent, are not specified here. This allows use of a variety of techniques for protecting sensitive (e.g., private or secret) keys. Smart cards or other integrated cryptographic engines (SafeKeyper) are one option, and simpler mechanisms such as files may also be used (in a variety of formats).

Typical ways to request a KeyStore object include specifying an existing keystore file, relying on the default type and providing a specific keystore type.

To specify an existing keystore file:
```
// get keystore password
     char[] password = getPassword();
 
     // probe the keystore file and load the keystore entries
     KeyStore ks = KeyStore.getInstance(new File("keyStoreName"), password);
 
```
The system will probe the specified file to determine its keystore type and return a keystore implementation with its entries already loaded. When this approach is used there is no need to call the keystore's load method.
To rely on the default type:
```
KeyStore ks = KeyStore.getInstance(KeyStore.getDefaultType());
  
```
The system will return a keystore implementation for the default type.
To provide a specific keystore type:
```
KeyStore ks = KeyStore.getInstance("JKS");
  
```
The system will return the most preferred implementation of the specified keystore type available in the environment.

Before a keystore can be accessed, it must be loaded.

KeyStore ks = KeyStore.getInstance(KeyStore.getDefaultType());
 
     // get user password and file input stream
     char[] password = getPassword();
 
     try (FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream("keyStoreName")) {
         ks.load(fis, password);
     }

To create an empty keystore using the above load method, pass null as the InputStream argument.

Once the keystore has been loaded, it is possible to read existing entries from the keystore, or to write new entries into the keystore:

KeyStore.ProtectionParameter protParam =
         new KeyStore.PasswordProtection(password);
 
     // get my private key
     KeyStore.PrivateKeyEntry pkEntry = (KeyStore.PrivateKeyEntry)
         ks.getEntry("privateKeyAlias", protParam);
     PrivateKey myPrivateKey = pkEntry.getPrivateKey();
 
     // save my secret key
     javax.crypto.SecretKey mySecretKey;
     KeyStore.SecretKeyEntry skEntry =
         new KeyStore.SecretKeyEntry(mySecretKey);
     ks.setEntry("secretKeyAlias", skEntry, protParam);
 
     // store away the keystore
     try (FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream("newKeyStoreName")) {
         ks.store(fos, password);
     }

Note that although the same password may be used to load the keystore, to protect the private key entry, to protect the secret key entry, and to store the keystore (as is shown in the sample code above), different passwords or other protection parameters may also be used.

Android provides the following KeyStore types:

Algorithm	Supported API Levels
AndroidCAStore	14+

getInstance

Added in API level 33

static fun getInstance(
    file: File!, 
    password: CharArray!
): KeyStore!

A password may be given to unlock the keystore (e.g. the keystore resides on a hardware token device), or to check the integrity of the keystore data. If a password is not given for integrity checking, then integrity checking is not performed.

This method traverses the list of registered security providers, starting with the most preferred Provider. For each KeyStoreSpi implementation supported by a Provider, it invokes the engineProbe method to determine if it supports the specified keystore. A new KeyStore object is returned that encapsulates the KeyStoreSpi implementation from the first Provider that supports the specified file.

Note that the list of registered providers may be retrieved via the Security.getProviders() method.

Parameters
`file`	File!: the keystore file
`password`	CharArray!: the keystore password, which may be `null`

Return
`KeyStore!`	a keystore object loaded with keystore data

Exceptions
`java.security.KeyStoreException`	if no Provider supports a KeyStoreSpi implementation for the specified keystore file.
`java.io.IOException`	if there is an I/O or format problem with the keystore data, if a password is required but not given, or if the given password was incorrect. If the error is due to a wrong password, the `cause` of the `IOException` should be an `UnrecoverableKeyException`.
`java.security.NoSuchAlgorithmException`	if the algorithm used to check the integrity of the keystore cannot be found.
`java.security.cert.CertificateException`	if any of the certificates in the keystore could not be loaded.
`java.lang.IllegalArgumentException`	if file does not exist or does not refer to a normal file.
`java.lang.NullPointerException`	if file is `null`.
