RSA SHA256 Signature using Private Key from Java Keystore

See more RSA Examples

Signs plaintext using RSA SHA256 using a key from a Java keystore.

Duplicatest this code:

KeyStore keystore; // key repository for keys containing signature certificate
String alias; // alias for the certificate in the key repository
String password; // password for the certificate's private key
String plaintext; // text being signed


Signature signature = Signature.getInstance("SHA256withRSA");
signature.initSign((PrivateKey) keystore.getKey(alias, password.toCharArray()));
signature.update(plaintext.getBytes("UTF-8"));
byte[] rsa_text= signature.sign();
