No, there is no way, even with private APIs, for a user application to access certificates before the KeyChain API. They were previously only accessible by system user by VPN and WiFi.
Apps can of course use certificates within their own process. For an example, see the X509TrustManager and X509KeyManager (usage example at http://developer.android.com/reference/javax/net/ssl/HttpsURLConnection.html) -bri On Tue, Aug 28, 2012 at 6:39 PM, Shu Sang <[email protected]> wrote: > I try to access PKI secured services on Android using Java.
