I read this article on how to use keytool
to generate CSRs for your organization. It was simple and easy, but left me with a few questions that I couldn't find clear, descriptive answers to:
alias
and why would you want to use one? Where is this alias field stored and what other tools/APIs have access to it? key
and a keystore
? First of all, java uses keystores to keep keys (and certificates ) inside. Single keystore can hold many certificates, so you need a way to differentiate them. That's what aliases are for. Having a keystore , an alias (and a password if needed) you can get the certificate from the keystore using Java Crypto API (specifically classes like Keystore
). Here, you have a an example of how the Crypto API can be used to load a key from keystore
The keystore is a container. The keys are kept inside keystores .
密钥库是一种用于保存证书和私钥的文件格式,别名用于标识密钥库中的每个条目。
