Keytool

A Java keystore maintains keys and certificates in a secure manner in a repository.
keytool is a Java utility that is part of the Java JDK which allows for performing tasks on a Java keystore.
Basic operations are:
- listing contents (keytool -list)
  - Example: keytool -list -keystore <keystore_path>
- importing certificates (keytool -import)
  - Example for importing into root certificates - see documentation below for further information: keytool -import -trustcacerts -file <certificate_path> -alias <alias_name> -keystore <keystore_path>
- exporting certificates (keytool - export)
  - Example: keytool -export -file <export_path> -alias <alias_name> -keystore <keystore_path>
- Deleting certificates (keytool -delete)
  - Example: keytool -delete -alias <alias_name> -keystore <keystore_path>
- generating certificates (see documentation below to fully understand the options)
