with Multiple Keystore Implementations</title><prolog><metadata><keywords/></metadata></prolog><conbody>
<p>The Symbian key store architecture allows devices to have multiple, coexisting,
keystore implementations. All implementations are accessed through an abstraction
layer: the “unified keystore”. </p>
<p> <codeph>keytool</codeph> fully supports multiple key store implementations
with the option <codeph>–store</codeph> which can be used to specify a particular
key store implementation which a command must use. To see a list of all available
key store implementations the command <codeph>–listtores</codeph> or <codeph>-ls</codeph> for
short, can be used. For example, you can use: </p>
<p><userinput>keytool –ls</userinput> </p>
<p>And obtain as result an output similar to: </p>

[0] Store Label: On-device key store
Version: 1.00    Serial Number: 0        Manufacturer: Nokia Corporation
</codeblock>
<p>Each key store implementation has an entry. The number in brackets represents
the key store index which will be used to refer to a specific keystore implementation
in the <codeph>–store</codeph> option. A label, a human readable description
of the implementation, is also present. Some meta-data is also available,
such as, the version, serial number and manufacturer of a given implementation.
In the above case, only one key store implementation is available. This is
the standard on device stores provided by Symbian.</p>
<p>With this knowledge, you can use the <codeph>–store</codeph> option to
specify the key store implementation a command must use (See <xref href="GUID-6DF71555-1AB0-5B50-9FEA-E775F3AFEF8B.dita">Listing
Keystore Contents</xref> for details of the option). </p>
