Dear Yousif Hussin, Thanks for your reply Actually I have a Java Application that would be interacting with PKI tool(EJBCA)through the provided interfaces. The EJBCA would generate Symmetric Key and save it in Keystore(mapped by some alias). My Java Application would fetch the Symmetric Key from EJBCA using the alias. Similary EJBCA would generate the Asymmetric Keys and save the same in Keystore and my Java Application would fetch the same based on alias. Coming to Digital Certificate.The Java Application has to manage Digital Certificates provided by my Project clients.It would use the EJBCA for managing these certificates.The certificates would be passed to the EJBCA.EJB CA should save them in KeyStore(manged by EJBCA) mapped with alias,also notify if the Certificate is going to expire in near future. Also the Java Application has to create a new Key Pair and generate a new Digital Certificate with Public Key and Signature Details.It would be using EJBCA for this.In future I have to share the generated Digital Certificate with my client.I should be able to send the same. could you please confirm my understanding? Thanks and Regards, Parveez On Mon, 15 Apr 2013 21:46:59 +0530 wrote >Dear Parveez, Firstly, since you know that EJBCA is used for PKI systems, you should be familiar with the fact that PKI is a system to manage the Digital Certificate. Starting from your last question, the certificate always contains the Public Key. In fact the Digital Certificate is the binding of the public key to one's identity. Using EJBCA, you can generate Asymmetric keys and sign a Digital Certificate. As for the "saving" of the keys (I'll assume you're talking about the Private Keys), yes you can enable the option of backing up the key. But then it's important to note that you'd better back up Encryption Keys but not Signing Keys. The signing Key should always be with the owner of the key only for non-repudiation purposes.

Will it generate Certicate based on the Public Key Thanks and Regards, Parveez Get your own FREE website and domain with business email solutions, click here ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Precog is a next-generation analytics platform capable of advanced analytics on semi-structured data.
