(Excel) Create JCEKS Containing Secret Keys

Demonstrates how to create a JCEKS keystore file containing symmetric secret keys (for AES, Blowfish, HMAC SHA25, ChaCha20, etc.)

This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.66 or greater.

' IMPORTANT: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.66 or greater.

' This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
' See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

Dim jceks As Chilkat.JavaKeyStore
Set jceks = Chilkat.NewJavaKeyStore

' We'll need a pseudo-random number generator (PRNG) to generate symmetric keys.
Dim prng As Chilkat.Prng

' 256-bit Blowfish key (32 bytes)

blowfishKey = prng.GenRandom(32,"base64")

' HMAC SHA256 key
' (An HMAC key can be anything, and any length. We'll use the following string:

hmacKey = "This is my HMAC key"

' ChaCha20 256-bit

chachaKey = prng.GenRandom(32,"base64")

' Add each secret key to the JCEKS

encoding = "base64"
