Generate Keys

Susan creates a keystore database named susanstore that has an entryfor a newly generatedpublic andprivate key pair with thepublic key in a certificate.

A JAR file is signed with theprivate key of the creator of the JAR file and the signature is verified by the recipient of the JAR file with thepublic key in the pair. The certificate is a statement from the owner of theprivate key that thepublic key in the pair has a particular value so the person using thepublic key can be assured thepublic key is authentic. Public andprivate keys must already exist in the keystore database before jarsigner can be used to sign or verify the signature on a JAR file.

In her working directory, Susan creates a keystore database and generates the keys:

keytool -genkey -alias signFiles -keystore susanstore -keypass kpi135 -dname"cn=jones" -storepass ab987c

I am using Netbeans, do I need input keytool under dos prompt?

'keytool' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

operable program or batch file.

I almost didn't respond for having to scroll so far because of your silly quoting irrelevant stuff like that, but...

Sorry, it is a silly question. Forget it. Thread closed.
