Detailed Description

Fourth Milestone - PKCS12 Key Repository

It is not a good idea to keep Private Keys in plain text files. You should protect the keys you've just created by using encryption. There are several ways to protect cryptographic keys, the one you are about to implement is a standard called PKCS#12. To create a PKCS#12 file (extension .p12) you will pack together the Private Key and its respective certificate. Both assets have been produced on previous milestones. The key repository's structure is somewhat like this:

<Alias, <Certificate, PrivateKey> >

Alias is the nickname or friendly name given to the tuple <Certificate, PrivateKey>.

• Use Pkcs12Builder class to build a PKCS12;
  
• Write the PKCS12 to using DER encoding;
  
  • paths::userP12Path;
    
  • paths::rootCaP12Path.
