(VB.NET) Convert JCEKS to JWK Set (JSON Web Key Set)

Demonstrates how to read a JCEKS keystore file containing a mixture of key types (ECC key and symmetric secret key), and converts to a JWK Set (JSON Web Key Set).

This example uses the jceks sample file that you may download from Sample JCEKS with Multiple Key Types (ECC Key and Secret Key)

The file password is "mixed". The password for each key contained in the JCEKS is "password".

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.

Dim jceks As New Chilkat.JavaKeyStore

Dim filePassword As String = "mixed"
Dim success As Boolean = jceks.LoadFile(filePassword,"qa_data/jks/sample_mixed.jceks")
If (success <> True) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(jceks.LastErrorText)
    Exit Sub
End If


Dim keyPassword As String = "password"

' To convert to a JWKSet, all of the keys contained within the JCEKS must use the same password.
Dim sbJson As New Chilkat.StringBuilder
success = jceks.ToJwkSet(keyPassword,sbJson)
If (success <> True) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(jceks.LastErrorText)
    Exit Sub
End If


' Emit the JSON in pretty-printed (indented) form:
Dim json As New Chilkat.JsonObject
json.LoadSb(sbJson)
json.EmitCompact = False
Debug.WriteLine(json.Emit())
