A '''Java KeyStore (JKS)''' is a repository of security certificates, either [[Authorization certificate]]s or [[Public key certificate]]s - used for instance in [[Transport_Layer_Security|SSL encryption]].

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

The [[Java_(programming_language)|Java]] JDK maintains a CAC keystore in jre/lib/security/cacerts. JDKs provide a tool keytool <ref>[http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/tooldocs/solaris/keytool.html keytool - Key and Certificate Management Tool]</ref> to manipulate the keystore.
