Question

Is it necessary to create both (private and public keys) via keytool utility? Is the private key created by “-protected” added when exporting keystore by keytool? If I have now private and public keys, how to make initial signing process and verification of some, e.g. external XML document?

Thanks

You are following the android keytool tutorial, it shouldn’t create multiple keys it should create a single .keystore file.

keytool -genkey -v -keystore my-release-key.keystore 
-alias alias_name -keyalg RSA -keysize 2048 -validity 10000

you shouldn’t be getting a private&pub key
