"Invalid keystore format" on setting keystore for type "JCEKS" for symmetric key encryption

3.2k views Asked by At

I am trying to use symmetric encryption for securing the communication on jetty-9 using java-8. The cipher suite for this purpose I am using is "TLS_PSK_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256". The implementation for this cipher suite is provided by third party provider - "IAIK".

Since its symmetric encryption, the keystore type I am using is "JCEKS" and not default i.e. "JKS".

On trying to configure this keystore, I am getting this error - java.io.IOException: Invalid keystore format.

The program code is as follows:

import iaik.security.provider.IAIK;

import java.io.IOException;
import java.security.Security;

import javax.servlet.ServletException;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;

import org.eclipse.jetty.server.Connector;
import org.eclipse.jetty.server.HttpConfiguration;
import org.eclipse.jetty.server.HttpConnectionFactory;
import org.eclipse.jetty.server.SecureRequestCustomizer;
import org.eclipse.jetty.server.Server;
import org.eclipse.jetty.server.ServerConnector;
import org.eclipse.jetty.server.SslConnectionFactory;
import org.eclipse.jetty.servlet.ServletHandler;
import org.eclipse.jetty.util.ssl.SslContextFactory;

public class TestJettyServer {

  public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
    SslContextFactory sslContextFactory = new SslContextFactory();
    sslContextFactory.setIncludeProtocols(new String[] { "TLSv1" });
    Security.addProvider(new IAIK()); // third party provider for cipher suite "TLS_PSK_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256"
    sslContextFactory.setIncludeCipherSuites(new String[] { "TLS_PSK_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256" });

    attachSymmetricKeyStore(sslContextFactory);

    HttpConfiguration https = new HttpConfiguration();
    https.addCustomizer(new SecureRequestCustomizer());

    Server server = new Server();

    ServerConnector sslConnector = new ServerConnector(server, new SslConnectionFactory(sslContextFactory, "http/1.1"),
        new HttpConnectionFactory(https));

    sslConnector.setPort(9997);

    Connector[] connectors = { sslConnector };
    server.setConnectors(connectors);

    ServletHandler handler = new ServletHandler();
    server.setHandler(handler);
    handler.addServletWithMapping(HelloServlet.class, "/*");

    server.start();
    server.join();

  }

  private static void attachSymmetricKeyStore(SslContextFactory sslContextFactory) {
    // keystore is generated using following command :
    // keytool -genseckey -alias srccodes -keyalg AES -keystore keystoreAES.jceks -keysize 256 -storeType JCEKS

    sslContextFactory.setKeyStorePath(MinimalServlets.class.getResource("/keystoreAES.jceks").toExternalForm());
    sslContextFactory.setKeyStorePassword("123456");
    sslContextFactory.setKeyManagerPassword("123456");
  }

  public static class HelloServlet extends HttpServlet {

    /** The serialVersionUID. */
    private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;

    @Override
    protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {
      response.setContentType("text/html");
      response.setStatus(HttpServletResponse.SC_OK);
      response.getWriter().println("<h1>Hello SimpleServlet</h1>");
    }
  }

}

If you are using any other Keystore format other than "JKS", you need to set the Keystore type as "JCEKS" using:

sslContextFactory.setKeyStoreType("JCEKS");

The default Keystore type for org.eclipse.jetty.util.ssl.SslContextFactory is "JKS"
