\f3keytool\fP is a key and certificate management utility. It allows users to administer their own public/private key pairs and associated certificates for use in self\-authentication (where the user authenticates himself/herself to other users/services) or data integrity and authentication services, using digital signatures. It also allows users to cache the public keys (in the form of certificates) of their communicating peers.
|
|
|
53 |
.LP
|
|
|
54 |
A \f2certificate\fP is a digitally signed statement from one entity (person, company, etc.), saying that the public key (and some other information) of some other entity has a particular value. (See Certificates.) When data is digitally signed, the signature can be verified to check the data integrity and authenticity. \f2Integrity\fP means that the data has not been modified or tampered with, and \f2authenticity\fP means the data indeed comes from whoever claims to have created and signed it.

\f3keytool\fP also enables users to administer secret keys used in symmetric encryption/decryption (e.g. DES).

Braces surrounding an option generally signify that a default value will be used if the option is not specified on the command line. Braces are also used around the \f2\-v\fP, \f2\-rfc\fP, and \f2\-J\fP options, which only have meaning if they appear on the command line (that is, they don't have any "default" values other than not existing).

Brackets surrounding an option signify that the user is prompted for the value(s) if the option is not specified on the command line. (For a \f2\-keypass\fP option, if you do not specify the option on the command line, \f3keytool\fP will first attempt to use the keystore password to recover the private/secret key, and if this fails, will then prompt you for the private/secret key password.)

In generating a public/private key pair, the signature algorithm (\f2\-sigalg\fP option) is derived from the algorithm of the underlying private key: If the underlying private key is of type "DSA", the \f2\-sigalg\fP option defaults to "SHA1withDSA", and if the underlying private key is of type "RSA", \f2\-sigalg\fP defaults to "SHA256withRSA".

There is also a \f2\-J\fP\f2javaoption\fP option that may appear for any command. If it appears, the specified \f2javaoption\fP string is passed through directly to the Java interpreter. This option should not contain any spaces. It is useful for adjusting the execution environment or memory usage. For a list of possible interpreter options, type \f2java \-h\fP or \f2java \-X\fP at the command line.

If the JKS storetype is used and a keystore file does not yet exist, then certain \f3keytool\fP commands may result in a new keystore file being created. For example, if \f2keytool \-genkeypair\fP is invoked and the \f2\-keystore\fP option is not specified, the default keystore file named \f2.keystore\fP in the user's home directory will be created if it does not already exist. Similarly, if the \f2\-keystore \fP\f2ks_file\fP option is specified but \f2ks_file\fP does not exist, then it will be created

Note that the input stream from the \f2\-keystore\fP option is passed to the \f2KeyStore.load\fP method. If \f2NONE\fP is specified as the URL, then a null stream is passed to the \f2KeyStore.load\fP method. \f2NONE\fP should be specified if the \f2KeyStore\fP is not file\-based (for example, if it resides on a hardware token device).

\f2storepass\fP must be at least 6 characters long. It must be provided to all commands that access the keystore contents. For such commands, if a \f2\-storepass\fP option is not provided at the command line, the user is prompted for it.

If \f3keytool\fP fails to establish a trust path from the certificate to be imported up to a self\-signed certificate (either from the keystore or the "cacerts" file), the certificate information is printed out, and the user is prompted to verify it, e.g., by comparing the displayed certificate fingerprints with the fingerprints obtained from some other (trusted) source of information, which might be the certificate owner himself/herself. Be very careful to ensure the certificate is valid prior to importing it as a "trusted" certificate! \-\- see WARNING Regarding Importing Trusted Certificates. The user then has the option of aborting the import operation. If the \f2\-noprompt\fP option is given, however, there will be no interaction with the user.

\f3If the reply is a single X.509 certificate\fP, \f3keytool\fP attempts to establish a trust chain, starting at the certificate reply and ending at a self\-signed certificate (belonging to a root CA). The certificate reply and the hierarchy of certificates used to authenticate the certificate reply form the new certificate chain of \f2alias\fP. If a trust chain cannot be established, the certificate reply is not imported. In this case, \f3keytool\fP does not print out the certificate and prompt the user to verify it, because it is very hard (if not impossible) for a user to determine the authenticity of the certificate reply.

\f3If the reply is a PKCS#7 formatted certificate chain or a sequence of X.509 certificates\fP, the chain is ordered with the user certificate first followed by zero or more CA certificates. If the chain ends with a self\-signed root CA certificate and \f2\-trustcacerts\fP option was specified, \f3keytool\fP will attempt to match it with any of the trusted certificates in the keystore or the "cacerts" keystore file. If the chain does not end with a self\-signed root CA certificate and the \f2\-trustcacerts\fP option was specified, \f3keytool\fP will try to find one from the trusted certificates in the keystore or the "cacerts" keystore file and add it to the end of the chain. If the certificate is not found and \f2\-noprompt\fP option is not specified, the information of the last certificate in the chain is printed out, and the user is prompted to verify it.

If the public key in the certificate reply matches the user's public key already stored with under \f2alias\fP, the old certificate chain is replaced with the new certificate chain in the reply. The old chain can only be replaced if a valid \f2keypass\fP, the password used to protect the private key of the entry, is supplied. If no password is provided, and the private key password is different from the keystore password, the user is prompted for it.

When the \f2srcalias\fP option is provided, the command imports the single entry identified by the alias to the destination keystore.

If a source keystore entry type is not supported in the destination keystore, or if an error occurs while storing an entry into the destination keystore, the user will be prompted whether to skip the entry and continue, or to quit. The destination entry will be protected with the source entry password.

This command creates the keystore named "mykeystore" in the "working" directory (assuming it doesn't already exist), and assigns it the password "ab987c". It generates a public/private key pair for the entity whose "distinguished name" has a common name of "Mark Jones", organizational unit of "JavaSoft", organization of "Sun" and two\-letter country code of "US". It uses the default "DSA" key generation algorithm to create the keys, both 1024 bits long.

It creates a self\-signed certificate (using the default "SHA1withDSA" signature algorithm) that includes the public key and the distinguished name information. This certificate will be valid for 180 days, and is associated with the private key in a keystore entry referred to by the alias "business". The private key is assigned the password "kpi135".

In this case, a keystore entry with alias "mykey" is created, with a newly\-generated key pair and a certificate that is valid for 90 days. This entry is placed in the keystore named ".keystore" in your home directory. (The keystore is created if it doesn't already exist.) You will be prompted for the distinguished name information, the keystore password, and the private key password.

This creates a CSR (for the entity identified by the default alias "mykey") and puts the request in the file named "MarkJ.csr". Submit this file to a CA, such as VeriSign, Inc. The CA will authenticate you, the requestor (usually off\-line), and then will return a certificate, signed by them, authenticating your public key. (In some cases, they will actually return a chain of certificates, each one authenticating the public key of the signer of the previous certificate in the chain.)

Before you import the certificate reply from a CA, you need one or more "trusted certificates" in your keystore or in the \f2cacerts\fP keystore file (which is described in importcert command):

If the certificate reply is a certificate chain, you just need the top certificate of the chain (that is, the "root" CA certificate authenticating that CA's public key).

If the certificate reply is a single certificate, you need a certificate for the issuing CA (the one that signed it), and if that certificate is not self\-signed, you need a certificate for its signer, and so on, up to a self\-signed "root" CA certificate.

The "cacerts" keystore file ships with five VeriSign root CA certificates, so you probably won't need to import a VeriSign certificate as a trusted certificate in your keystore. But if you request a signed certificate from a different CA, and a certificate authenticating that CA's public key hasn't been added to "cacerts", you will need to import a certificate from the CA as a "trusted certificate".

A certificate from a CA is usually either self\-signed, or signed by another CA (in which case you also need a certificate authenticating that CA's public key). Suppose company ABC, Inc., is a CA, and you obtain a file named "ABCCA.cer" that is purportedly a self\-signed certificate from ABC, authenticating that CA's public key.

Be very careful to ensure the certificate is valid prior to importing it as a "trusted" certificate! View it first (using the \f3keytool\fP \f2\-printcert\fP command, or the \f3keytool\fP \f2\-importcert\fP command without the \f2\-noprompt\fP option), and make sure that the displayed certificate fingerprint(s) match the expected ones. You can call the person who sent the certificate, and compare the fingerprint(s) that you see with the ones that they show (or that a secure public key repository shows). Only if the fingerprints are equal is it guaranteed that the certificate has not been replaced in transit with somebody else's (for example, an attacker's) certificate. If such an attack took place, and you did not check the certificate before you imported it, you would end up trusting anything the attacker has signed.

Once you've imported a certificate authenticating the public key of the CA you submitted your certificate signing request to (or there's already such a certificate in the "cacerts" file), you can import the certificate reply and thereby replace your self\-signed certificate with a certificate chain. This chain is the one returned by the CA in response to your request (if the CA reply is a chain), or one constructed (if the CA reply is a single certificate) using the certificate reply and trusted certificates that are already available in the keystore where you import the reply or in the "cacerts" keystore file.

One way they can do this is by first importing your public key certificate into their keystore as a "trusted" entry. You can export the certificate and supply it to your clients. As an example, you can copy your certificate to a file named \f2MJ.cer\fP via the following, assuming the entry is aliased by "mykey":

The command "importkeystore" is used to import an entire keystore into another keystore, which means all entries from the source keystore, including keys and certificates, are all imported to the destination keystore within a single command. You can use this command to import entries from a different type of keystore. During the import, all new entries in the destination keystore will have the same alias names and protection passwords (for secret keys and private keys). If \f3keytool\fP has difficulties recover the private keys or secret keys from the source keystore, it will prompt you for a password. If it detects alias duplication, it will ask you for a new one, you can specify a new alias or simply allow \f3keytool\fP to overwrite the existing one.

The importkeystore command can also be used to import a single entry from a source keystore to a destination keystore. In this case, besides the options you see in the above example, you need to specify the alias you want to import. With the srcalias option given, you can also specify the desination alias name in the command line, as well as protection password for a secret/private key and the destination protection password you want. In this way, you can issue a \f3keytool\fP command that will never ask you a question. This makes it very convenient to include a \f3keytool\fP command into a script file, like this:

\f3key entries\fP \- each holds very sensitive cryptographic key information, which is stored in a protected format to prevent unauthorized access. Typically, a key stored in this type of entry is a secret key, or a private key accompanied by the certificate "chain" for the corresponding public key. The \f3keytool\fP can handle both types od entry, while \f3jarsigner\fP tool only handle the latter type of entry, that is private keys and their associated certificate chains.

The \f2KeyStore\fP class provided in the \f2java.security\fP package supplies well\-defined interfaces to access and modify the information in a keystore. It is possible for there to be multiple different concrete implementations, where each implementation is that for a particular \f2type\fP of keystore.

Currently, two command\-line tools (\f3keytool\fP and \f3jarsigner\fP) and a GUI\-based tool named \f3Policy Tool\fP make use of keystore implementations. Since \f2KeyStore\fP is publicly available, users can write additional security applications that use it.

There is a built\-in default implementation, provided by Sun Microsystems. It implements the keystore as a file, utilizing a proprietary keystore type (format) named "JKS". It protects each private key with its individual password, and also protects the integrity of the entire keystore with a (possibly different) password.

Keystore implementations are provider\-based. More specifically, the application interfaces supplied by \f2KeyStore\fP are implemented in terms of a "Service Provider Interface" (SPI). That is, there is a corresponding abstract \f2KeystoreSpi\fP class, also in the \f2java.security\fP package, which defines the Service Provider Interface methods that "providers" must implement. (The term "provider" refers to a package or a set of packages that supply a concrete implementation of a subset of services that can be accessed by the Java Security API.) Thus, to provide a keystore implementation, clients must implement a "provider" and supply a KeystoreSpi subclass implementation, as described in

Applications can choose different \f2types\fP of keystore implementations from different providers, using the "getInstance" factory method supplied in the \f2KeyStore\fP class. A keystore type defines the storage and data format of the keystore information, and the algorithms used to protect private/secret keys in the keystore and the integrity of the keystore itself. Keystore implementations of different types are not compatible.

(It treats the keytore location that is passed to it at the command line as a filename and converts it to a FileInputStream, from which it loads the keystore information.) The \f3jarsigner\fP and \f3policytool\fP tools, on the other hand, can read a keystore from any location that can be specified using a URL.

For \f3keytool\fP and \f3jarsigner\fP, you can specify a keystore type at the command line, via the \f2\-storetype\fP option. For \f3Policy Tool\fP, you can specify a keystore type via the "Keystore" menu.

If you don't explicitly specify a keystore type, the tools choose a keystore implementation based simply on the value of the \f2keystore.type\fP property specified in the security properties file. The security properties file is called \f2java.security\fP, and it resides in the security properties directory, \f2java.home\fP/lib/security, where \f2java.home\fP is the runtime environment's directory (the \f2jre\fP directory in the SDK or the top\-level directory of the Java 2 Runtime Environment).

Basically, public key cryptography requires access to users' public keys. In a large\-scale networked environment it is impossible to guarantee that prior relationships between communicating entities have been established or that a trusted repository exists with all used public keys. Certificates were invented as a solution to this public key distribution problem. Now a \f2Certification Authority\fP (CA) can act as a trusted third party. CAs are entities (for example, businesses) that are trusted to sign (issue) certificates for other entities. It is assumed that CAs will only create valid and reliable certificates, as they are bound by legal agreements. There are many public Certification Authorities, such as

\f2X.509 Version 2\fP introduced the concept of subject and issuer unique identifiers to handle the possibility of reuse of subject and/or issuer names over time.

\f2X.509 Version 3\fP is the most recent (1996) and supports the notion of extensions, whereby anyone can define an extension and include it in the certificate. Some common extensions in use today are: \f2KeyUsage\fP (limits the use of the keys to particular purposes such as "signing\-only") and \f2AlternativeNames\fP (allows other identities to also be associated with this public key, e.g. DNS names, Email addresses, IP addresses). Extensions can be marked \f2critical\fP to indicate that the extension should be checked and enforced/used. For example, if a certificate has the KeyUsage extension marked critical and set to "keyCertSign" then if this certificate is presented during SSL communication, it should be rejected, as the certificate extension indicates that the associated private key should only be used for signing certificates and not for SSL use.

Each certificate is valid only for a limited amount of time. This period is described by a start date and time and an end date and time, and can be as short as a few seconds or almost as long as a century. The validity period chosen depends on a number of factors, such as the strength of the private key used to sign the certificate or the amount one is willing to pay for a certificate. This is the expected period that entities can rely on the public value, if the associated private key has not been compromised.

\f3keytool\fP can create and manage keystore "key" entries that each contain a private key and an associated certificate "chain". The first certificate in the chain contains the public key corresponding to the private key.

When keys are first generated (see the \-genkeypair command), the chain starts off containing a single element, a \f2self\-signed certificate\fP. A self\-signed certificate is one for which the issuer (signer) is the same as the subject (the entity whose public key is being authenticated by the certificate). Whenever the \f2\-genkeypair\fP command is called to generate a new public/private key pair, it also wraps the public key into a self\-signed certificate.

Later, after a Certificate Signing Request (CSR) has been generated (see the \-certreq command) and sent to a Certification Authority (CA), the response from the CA is imported (see \-importcert), and the self\-signed certificate is replaced by a chain of certificates. At the bottom of the chain is the certificate (reply) issued by the CA authenticating the subject's public key. The next certificate in the chain is one that authenticates the \f2CA\fP's public key.

In many cases, this is a self\-signed certificate (that is, a certificate from the CA authenticating its own public key) and the last certificate in the chain. In other cases, the CA may return a chain of certificates. In this case, the bottom certificate in the chain is the same (a certificate signed by the CA, authenticating the public key of the key entry), but the second certificate in the chain is a certificate signed by a \f2different\fP CA, authenticating the public key of the CA you sent the CSR to. Then, the next certificate in the chain will be a certificate authenticating the second CA's key, and so on, until a self\-signed "root" certificate is reached. Each certificate in the chain (after the first) thus authenticates the public key of the signer of the previous certificate in the chain.

Many CAs only return the issued certificate, with no supporting chain, especially when there is a flat hierarchy (no intermediates CAs). In this case, the certificate chain must be established from trusted certificate information already stored in the keystore.

The top\-level (root) CA certificate is self\-signed. However, the trust into the root's public key does not come from the root certificate itself (anybody could generate a self\-signed certificate with the distinguished name of say, the VeriSign root CA!), but from other sources like a newspaper. The root CA public key is widely known. The only reason it is stored in a certificate is because this is the format understood by most tools, so the certificate in this case is only used as a "vehicle" to transport the root CA's public key. Before you add the root CA certificate to your keystore, you should view it (using the \f2\-printcert\fP option) and compare the displayed fingerprint with the well\-known fingerprint (obtained from a newspaper, the root CA's webpage, etc.).

The initial password of the "cacerts" keystore file is "changeit". System administrators should change that password and the default access permission of that file upon installing the SDK.

Since you trust the CAs in the \f2cacerts\fP file as entities for signing and issuing certificates to other entities, you must manage the \f2cacerts\fP file carefully. The \f2cacerts\fP file should contain only certificates of the CAs you trust. It is your responsibility to verify the trusted root CA certificates bundled in the \f2cacerts\fP file and make your own trust decisions. To remove an untrusted CA certificate from the \f2cacerts\fP file, use the delete option of the \f2keytool\fP command. You can find the \f2cacerts\fP file in the JRE installation directory. Contact your system administrator if you do not have permission to edit this file.

Certificates are often stored using the printable encoding format defined by the Internet RFC 1421 standard, instead of their binary encoding. This certificate format, also known as "Base 64 encoding", facilitates exporting certificates to other applications by email or through some other mechanism.

Certificates read by the \f2\-importcert\fP and \f2\-printcert\fP commands can be in either this format or binary encoded.

The \f2\-exportcert\fP command by default outputs a certificate in binary encoding, but will instead output a certificate in the printable encoding format, if the \f2\-rfc\fP option is specified.

The \f2\-list\fP command by default prints the SHA1 fingerprint of a certificate. If the \f2\-v\fP option is specified, the certificate is printed in human\-readable format, while if the \f2\-rfc\fP option is specified, the certificate is output in the printable encoding format.

Then call or otherwise contact the person who sent the certificate, and compare the fingerprint(s) that you see with the ones that they show. Only if the fingerprints are equal is it guaranteed that the certificate has not been replaced in transit with somebody else's (for example, an attacker's) certificate. If such an attack took place, and you did not check the certificate before you imported it, you would end up trusting anything the attacker has signed (for example, a JAR file with malicious class files inside).

Note: it is not required that you execute a \f2\-printcert\fP command prior to importing a certificate, since before adding a certificate to the list of trusted certificates in the keystore, the \f2\-importcert\fP command prints out the certificate information and prompts you to verify it. You then have the option of aborting the import operation. Note, however, this is only the case if you invoke the \f2\-importcert\fP command without the \f2\-noprompt\fP option. If the \f2\-noprompt\fP option is given, there is no interaction with the user.

\f3keytool\fP no longer displays password input when entered by users. Since password input can no longer be viewed when entered, users will be prompted to re\-enter passwords any time a password is being set or changed (for example, when setting the initial keystore password, or when changing a key password).
