A '''keystore''' is a repository of security certificates, either [[Certification Authority CertificatesCertificate]]s or [[Public Key CertificatesCertificate]]s - used for instance in [[SSL encryption]].

In WebLogic server, a file with extension [[jks]] serves as keystore.

Java JDK maintains a CAC keystore in jre/lib/security/cacerts. JDKs provide a tool keytool [http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/tooldocs/solaris/keytool.html] to manipulate the keystore.
