Keystore and Truststore Files for TDV
Keystore and truststore files are the places where keys for secure communications are stored.
Each system component participating in SSL communication requires:
• A keystore file for its own key, which it furnishes to any other component that requests that it authenticate itself
• A truststore file for the keys of each other component that it trusts and needs to authenticate
Keystore and truststore files of the same type (for example, Java Keystore) have the same format.
• Keys Passed between System Components
• Default Locations of Keystore and Truststore Files
• Keystore and Truststore Configuration Parameters
