WSO2 Carbon supports two types of Keystores.

• JKS (Java Key Store) : It can read and store key entries and certificate entries. However, the key entries can store only private keys.
• PKCS12 (Public Key Cryptography Standards) : You can read a keystore in this format and can export the information from that keystore, but you cannot modify the keystore. This is used to import the certificates from different browsers into your Java keystore.
