PublicKeyStore

Light keystore implementation for managing and storing only PublicKeys in Java

Maven:

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.java.security</groupId>
  <artifactId>public-key-store</artifactId>
  <version>1.0.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
</dependency>

Note: Library depends on: Java 1.6

Components:

This library provides three components:

• PublicKeyStore (for storing PublicKeys and it's aliases)
• PublicKeyArchive (for storing PublicKeytStore) -- The library comes with PublicKeyZipArchive that is able to store PublicKeyStore as a zip file of PEM encoded Public Keys
• PublicKeyPemUtility (for reading/writing PEM encoded public keys)

Usage:

Here's an example of the token creation from scratch:

	KeyPairGenerator generator = KeyPairGenerator.getInstance("RSA");
	KeyPair keyPair = generator.generateKeyPair();
	PublicKey key = keyPair.getPublic();
	...
	PublicKeyStore keyStore = new PublicKeyStore();
	keyStore.add("alias", key);
	...
	File file = File.createTempFile(getClass().getSimpleName() + "-", ".pubar");
	file.deleteOnExit();

	PublicKeyZipArchive archive = new PublicKeyZipArchive(file.getAbsolutePath());
	archive.store(keyStore);
