I will send an email to FSF legal about using a (reimplementation)
of the JKS format.
Done and answered. We are free to reimplement this. File formats and
algorithms aren't copyrightable, so any code we write to conform to
the description given (see below) is OK. Now all we need is someone
willing to actually implement this and add it as a standard KeyStore
format we support.
this is great news!
until a volunteer raises his/her hand and contribute the
implementation,
i'll start working on the keytool tool.
Note that there is a beginning of a keytool implementation in GNU
Crypto CVS. Some of the basic functions work (list, export, and
import, I think), so it may be helpful to start with that code
instead of from scratch.
