(JavaScript) 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.

Note

This example is intended for running within a Chilkat.Js embedded JavaScript engine. All Chilkat JavaScript examples require Chilkat v11.4.0 or greater.

var success = false;

// 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.

var jceks = new CkJavaKeyStore();

// We'll need a pseudo-random number generator (PRNG) to generate symmetric keys.
var prng = new CkPrng();

// Generate some keys..

// 128-bit AES key (16 bytes)
var aesKey = prng.GenRandom(16,"base64");

// 256-bit Blowfish key (32 bytes)
var blowfishKey = prng.GenRandom(32,"base64");

// HMAC SHA256 key
// (An HMAC key can be anything, and any length. We'll use the following string:
var hmacKey = "This is my HMAC key";

// ChaCha20 256-bit
var chachaKey = prng.GenRandom(32,"base64");

// Add each secret key to the JCEKS
var encoding = "base64";
var password = "secret";
jceks.AddSecretKey(aesKey,encoding,"AES","my aes key",password);
jceks.AddSecretKey(blowfishKey,encoding,"BLOWFISH","my blowfish key",password);
// For HMAC, we're using the us-ascii bytes for the key..
jceks.AddSecretKey(hmacKey,"ascii","HMAC_SHA256","my hmac key",password);
jceks.AddSecretKey(chachaKey,encoding,"CHACHA","my chacha20 key",password);

var filePassword = "password";
// Write the JCEKs to a file.
success = jceks.ToFile(filePassword,"qa_output/secretKeys.jceks");
if (success !== true) {
    console.log(jceks.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// We can also emit as a JWK Set..
var sbJson = new CkStringBuilder();
success = jceks.ToJwkSet("secret",sbJson);
if (success !== true) {
    console.log(jceks.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// Emit the JSON in pretty-printed (indented) form:
var json = new CkJsonObject();
json.LoadSb(sbJson);
json.EmitCompact = false;
console.log(json.Emit());

// Output is:

// { 
//   "keys": [
//     {
