Java – certificate registration process
I am looking for a registration certificate program
I have searched a lot, but I haven't found a good answer. So far, I first need to generate a keystore (used to create the public key and private key), and then the private key should be kept confidential. The public key sends other information (such as name and organization) with the ca. then the CA will generate some content and return the content containing the public key and information
Until now I got this, but what did CA produce? What is a p12 file and what is a. Cer file containing?
Anyone can help me solve this problem. I really feel helpless. Thank you in advance
resolvent:
The general procedure for issuing certificates in public key infrastructure is as follows
1) The client generates key pairs, private and public key pairs
2) The client generates a CSR (certificate signing request), which includes attributes such as public name and public key. It uses the private key to sign it and send it to the server
3) The server uses CSR data to build x509 certificate, processes it with CA private key and returns x509 to the client
4) The client stores the private key and Certificate in the keystore
X509 certificate
PKCs #12 format (. PFX,. P12) file containing keystore
The public part of a certificate (not a private key) in der or PEM format

Generate keypair and CSR
//Generate KeyPair
KeyPairGenerator keyGen = KeyPairGenerator.getInstance("RSA");
keyGen.initialize(KEY_SIZE, new SecureRandom());
KeyPair keyPair = keyGen.generateKeyPair();
//Generate CSR in PKCS#10 format encoded in DER
PKCS10CertificationRequest csr = CsrHelper.generateCSR(keyPair, commonname);
byte CSRder[] = csr.getEncoded();
