Hi.

(keytool)?

JavaMail-Crypto uses native storage formats for OpenPGP and S/MIME.  So 
OpenPGP keys are expected to be in public and secure keyrings, and S/MIME 
certificates are expected to be in PKCS#12 files.  You might be able to use 
keytool to access those; I don't know.

>2. How can simply create pgp keys or smime certificates? BEcause You only 
use them btu is there any simple way to create them? Not using any CA 
organisation.

I usually use gpg to create PGP keys and openssl to create self-signed 
S/MIME certificates.  gpg is really easy to use (gpg --gen-key); the process 
for S/MIME certs, even self-signed ones, is a bit more (unnecessarily) 
complex.  You should be able to google instructions for that, though.  (I 
feel like I had instructions on that around here, but I can't seem to find 
them.....)
