You use the JAR Signing and Verification Tool to sign JAR files and time stamp the signature. You invoke the JAR Signing and Verification Tool by using the jarsigner command, so we'll refer to it as 'Jarsigner' for short.

To sign a JAR file, you must first have a private key. Private keys and their associated public-key certificates are stored in password-protected databases called keystores. A keystore can hold the keys of many potential signers. Each key in the keystore can be identified by an alias which is typically the name of the signer who owns the key. The key belonging to Rita Jones might have the alias 'rita', for example.

The basic form of the command for signing a JAR file is

In this command:

• jar-file is the pathname of the JAR file that's to be signed.
• alias is the alias identifying the private key that's to be used to sign the JAR file, and the key's associated certificate.

First create a key-pair using keytool. Keytool -genkey -alias somekeyname Then use jarsigner to sign it with the key you just created. Jarsigner /path/to/jar somekeyname Note, you need to use the same alias (somekeyname here) as the one you create the key with. Based on the instructions from the Eclipse documentation. To create a new JAR file in the workbench: Either from the context menu or from the menu bar's File menu, select Export. Expand the Java node and select JAR file. In the JAR File Specification page, select the resources that you want to export in the Select the resources to export field. The Eclipse Foundation - home to a global community, the Eclipse IDE, Jakarta EE and over 350 open source projects, including runtimes, tools and frameworks. You do not need to extract the private key from Java Card to generate a Certificate Signing Request. Just need to include the public key in the CSR and sign it with the private key. Here Certificate enrollment process you can see the general process explained and the involved code for an Android device. In your case the process could be like this.

You need to define Susan Jones when you generate the keys. Put Java class files comprising your application into a JAR file; Sign the JAR file; Export the public key certificate corresponding to the private key used to sign the JAR file; Here are the steps to grant permissions to an application. Note: For convenience, you pretend to be a user.

The Jarsigner tool will prompt you for the passwords for the keystore and alias.

This basic form of the command assumes that the keystore to be used is in a file named .keystore in your home directory. It will create signature and signature block files with names x.SF and x.DSA respectively, where x is the first eight letters of the alias, all converted to upper case. This basic command will overwrite the original JAR file with the signed JAR file.

In practice, you might want to use one or more of the command options that are available. For example, time stamping the signature is encouraged so that any tool used to deploy your application can verify that the certificate used to sign the JAR file was valid at the time that the file was signed. A warning is issued by the Jarsigner tool if a time stamp is not included.

Options precede the jar-file pathname. The following table describes the options that are available:

Example

Let's look at a couple of examples of signing a JAR file with the Jarsigner tool. In these examples, we will assume the following:

• Your alias is 'johndoe'.
• The keystore you want to use is in a file named 'mykeys' in the current working directory.
• The TSA that you want to use to time stamp the signature is located at http://tsa.url.example.com.

Under these assumptions, you could use this command to sign a JAR file named app.jar:

You will be prompted to enter the passwords for both the keystore and your alias. Because this command doesn't make use of the -sigfile option, the .SF and .DSA files it creates would be named JOHNDOE.SF and JOHNDOE.DSA. Because the command doesn't use the -signedjar option, the resulting signed file will overwrite the original version of app.jar.

Let's look at what would happen if you used a different combination of options:

The signature and signature block files would be named SIG.SF and SIG.DSA, respectively, and the signed JAR file SignedApp.jar would be placed in the current directory. The original unsigned JAR file would remain unchanged. Also, the signature would be time stamped with the TSA's public key certificate identified as testalias.
