public final class IAIKKeyStore

extends 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: RSA Laboratories.

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.

Overrides:

engineGetKey in class KeyStoreSpi

Parameters:

Returns:

the certificate chain, or null if the given alias does not contain a certificate chain

engineGetCertificate

public Certificate engineGetCertificate(String alias)

Returns the certificate associated with the given alias.

If the given alias name identifies a trusted certificate entry, the certificate associated with that entry is returned. If the given alias name identifies a key entry, the first element of the certificate chain is returned, or null if that entry does not have a certificate chain.

Overrides:

engineGetCertificate in class KeyStoreSpi

Parameters:

Returns the creation date of the entry identified by the given alias.

Overrides:

engineGetCreationDate in class KeyStoreSpi

Parameters:

alias - the alias name

                       throws KeyStoreException

Assigns the given key to the given alias, protecting it with the given password. The password can be null if the key is already protected in a EncryptedPrivateKeyInfo. You do not have to specifiy a certificate chain to a private key.

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

Overrides:

                       throws 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).

Overrides:

engineSetKeyEntry in class KeyStoreSpi

engineSetCertificateEntry

public void engineSetCertificateEntry(String alias,
                                      Certificate cert)
                               throws KeyStoreException

Assigns the given certificate to the given alias.

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.

Overrides:

engineSetCertificateEntry in class KeyStoreSpi

Parameters:
