I have a file on my FS (a S3 AWS key) that contains a string that is a key I use for encryption process.
I would like to move it a Java KeyStore.
I know how to import a certificate into a KeyStore with keytool but I can’t find the way to import a simple string key.
Can you help?
I don’t see a way to do it with keytool, but some poking about, I wonder if you could store and retrieve it in code as a PasswordBasedEncryption (PBE) SecretKey. (Disclaimer: I haven’t tried this myself).
The resources that drove this thought:
