Create JCEKS Containing Secret Keys

See more Java KeyStore (JKS) Examples

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.

// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

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