Importing Certificates into keystore

[Robert Darling]

Hi,

I have been provided an existing project that connects securely to a server. I have been provided 6 private keys for test and production environment. I have also been told provided a new certificate and been told that the old certificate has expired. So i need to import the new certificate into the keystore using the different private keys. Can anyone help me how to do this? I have searched on the internet but am not really clear about the public/private key concepts.

Kind Regards,

[Robert Darling]

So the sample private key is now far from being private!

Bouncy Castle has a library that allows one to perform PGP cryptography operations though I would be surprised if you really wanted to import a PGP private key into a Java keystore. Google is your friend.
