Class JceRACFKeyStore

java.lang.Object
java.security.KeyStoreSpi
com.ibm.crypto.zsecurity.provider.JceRACFKeyStore

public final class JceRACFKeyStore extends KeyStoreSpi
This class provides the keystore implementation referred to as "JCERACFKS". This implementation strongly protects the keystore private keys using triple-DES, where the triple-DES encryption/decryption key is derived from the user's password. The encrypted private keys are stored in the keystore in a standard format, namely the EncryptedPrivateKeyInfo format defined in PKCS #8.

    • engineGetKey

      public Key engineGetKey(String alias, char[] passwd) throws NoSuchAlgorithmException, UnrecoverableKeyException
      Returns the key associated with the given alias, using the given password to recover it.
      Specified by:
      engineGetKey in class KeyStoreSpi
      Parameters:
      alias - the alias name
      passwd - the password for recovering the key
      Returns:
      the requested key, or null if the given alias does not exist or does not identify a key entry.
      Throws:
      NoSuchAlgorithmException - if the algorithm for recovering the key cannot be found.
      UnrecoverableKeyException - if the key cannot be recovered (e.g., the given password is wrong).
    • engineGetCertificateChain

      public Certificate[] engineGetCertificateChain(String alias)
      Returns the certificate chain associated with the given alias.
      Specified by:
      engineGetCertificateChain in class KeyStoreSpi
      Parameters:
      alias - the alias name
      Returns:
      the certificate chain (ordered with the user's certificate first followed by zero or more certificate authorities), or null if the given alias does not exist or does not contain a certificate chain (i.e., the given alias identifies a key entry without 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 of that entry is returned, or null if that entry does not have a certificate chain.

      Specified by:
      engineGetCertificate in class KeyStoreSpi
      Parameters:
      alias - the alias name
      Returns:
      the certificate, or null if the given alias does not exist or does not contain a certificate.
    • engineGetCreationDate

      public Date engineGetCreationDate(String alias)
      Returns the creation date of the entry identified by the given alias.
      Specified by:
      engineGetCreationDate in class KeyStoreSpi
      Parameters:
      alias - the alias name
      Returns:
      the creation date of this entry, or null if the given alias does not exist.
    • engineSetEntry

      public void engineSetEntry(String alias, KeyStore.Entry entry, KeyStore.ProtectionParameter protParam) throws KeyStoreException
      Saves a KeyStore.Entry under the specified alias. The specified protection parameter is used to protect the KeyStore.Entry.

    • engineSetKeyEntry

      public void engineSetKeyEntry(String alias, byte[] key, Certificate[] chain) throws KeyStoreException
      This an unsupported function, because key encodings are not supported. This method always throws a KeyStoreException.
      Specified by:

    • 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.
      Specified by:
      engineSetCertificateEntry in class KeyStoreSpi
      Parameters:
      alias - the alias name
      cert - the certificate
      Throws:
      KeyStoreException - if the given alias already exists and does not identify a trusted certificate entry, or this operation fails for some other reason.

      Returns the (alias) name of the first keystore entry whose certificate matches the given certificate.

      This method attempts to match the given certificate with each keystore entry. If the entry being considered is a trusted certificate entry, the given certificate is compared to that entry's certificate. If the entry being considered is a key entry, the given certificate is compared to the first element of that entry's certificate chain (if a chain exists).

      Specified by:
      engineGetCertificateAlias in class KeyStoreSpi
      Parameters:
      cert - the certificate to match with
      Returns:
      the alias name of the first entry with matching certificate, or null if no such entry exists in this keystore.
