Hi there, I have looked into this area lately too. A jarsigner can well be implemented without JKS and have a Provider plugged in for different keystore formats. This would be done via the java.security.KeyStore.getInstance() method AFAICS. I think this is what Sun's jarsigner also does via the --

hello all, i now have a working first (rough) cut of the above. but before i check the code in i'd like a second opinion on a legal-related issue. the tool reads and uses private and public cryptographic data from a keystore that is in a proprietary format: "JKS" from Sun. the code i use to
