(CkPython) Create JCEKS Containing Secret Keys

Demonstrates how to create a JCEKS keystore file containing symmetric secret keys (for AES, Blowfish, HMAC SHA25, ChaCha20, etc.)

This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.66 or greater.

# IMPORTANT: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.66 or greater.

# This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
# See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

jceks = chilkat.CkJavaKeyStore()

# We'll need a pseudo-random number generator (PRNG) to generate symmetric keys.
prng = chilkat.CkPrng()

# Generate some keys..

# 128-bit AES key (16 bytes)
aesKey = prng.genRandom(16,"base64")

# 256-bit Blowfish key (32 bytes)
blowfishKey = prng.genRandom(32,"base64")

# HMAC SHA256 key
# (An HMAC key can be anything, and any length. We'll use the following string:
hmacKey = "This is my HMAC key"

# ChaCha20 256-bit
chachaKey = prng.genRandom(32,"base64")

# Add each secret key to the JCEKS
encoding = "base64"
password = "secret"
jceks.AddSecretKey(aesKey,encoding,"AES","my aes key",password)
jceks.AddSecretKey(blowfishKey,encoding,"BLOWFISH","my blowfish key",password)
# For HMAC, we're using the us-ascii bytes for the key..
jceks.AddSecretKey(hmacKey,"ascii","HMAC_SHA256","my hmac key",password)
jceks.AddSecretKey(chachaKey,encoding,"CHACHA","my chacha20 key",password)

filePassword = "password"
# Write the JCEKs to a file.
success = jceks.ToFile(filePassword,"qa_output/secretKeys.jceks")
if (success != True):
    print(jceks.lastErrorText())
    sys.exit()

# We can also emit as a JWK Set..
sbJson = chilkat.CkStringBuilder()
success = jceks.ToJwkSet("secret",sbJson)
if (success != True):
    print(jceks.lastErrorText())
    sys.exit()

# Emit the JSON in pretty-printed (indented) form:
json = chilkat.CkJsonObject()
json.LoadSb(sbJson)
json.put_EmitCompact(False)
print(json.emit())
