Java Security, 2nd Edition

Name

Class java.security.KeyStoreSpi

Synopsis

This is the service provider interface for implementations of the keystore engine. Each method of the KeyStore class corresponds naturally to a method of this engine, which is expected to provide the required information. When the engine is asked to store a key and is given a password (an array of characters), the engine is expected to encrypt the key. The engine should not encrypt the entire database (using the password to the store( ) method); the database password is used to detect tampering but cannot be required to read the keystore.
