KeyStore/TrustStore

  • KeyStore: holds onto certificates that identify us.
  • TrustStore: holds onto certificates that identify others.
  • Until Java 8, the default KeyStore-Format is JKS. Since Java 9, the default KeyStore-Format is PKCS12.
  • Java has bundled a TrustStore called cacerts and it resides in the $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/security directory
* Certificate: .crt, .pem
* Certificate Chain: .crt, .cer, .pem
* Public Key: .key, .pem
* Private Key: .key, .pem
