KeyStone

KeyStone is an editor program for Java keystore files, licensed under the GPL. KeyStone may help make your life easier if you're working with symmetric cryptography in Java. Otherwise... move along, nothing to see here.

Desirable, But Unsupported Features

3. No PKC protocol actions directly supported (like cert signing requests, etc)

Getting KeyStone

KeyStone is currently available on SourceForge.

Building KeyStone

KeyStone relies on an Ant script to control the build process. You will need the following prerequisites to run the build script:

1. Java 1.5 or later (really only tested on 1.5 so far)
2. Ant installed
3. JUnit (pre JUnit 4.0), if you want to run the unit tests

The output of the build process (using the default "dist" task) should be an executable jar file, which you can double click to start, or run using the command: java -jar keystone.jar
