I need to generate a self signed certificates at run time, sign them and import to the Java keystore. I can do this using "keytool" and "openssl" from command line in the following way:
keytool -import -alias root -keystore keystore.txt -file cacert.pem
keytool -genkey -keyalg RSA -keysize 1024 -alias www.cia.gov -keystore keystore.txt
keytool -keystore keystore.txt -certreq -alias www.cia.gov -file req.pem
openssl x509 -req -days 3650 -in req.pem -CA cacert.pem -CAkey cakey.pem -CAcreateserial -out reqsigned.pem
keytool -import -alias www.cia.gov -keystore keystore.txt -trustcacerts -file reqsigned.pem
I can, of course, ship my application with keytool and openssl binaries and execute the above commands from Java, but I'm looking for a cleaner approach which would allow me to do all of the above using pure Java.
Any libraries I can use ?
