KeyStore error on java server: BKS not found

Question

I get an error on this line:

final KeyStore keyStore = KeyStore.getInstance("BKS"); 

the error i get is:

 java.security.KeyStoreException: BKS not found at java.security.KeyStore.getInstance(Unknown Source) at AppListen.<init>(AppListen.java:84) 

I added bcprov-jdk16-146.jar to the "Linked Libraries" but still no luck.

My general program allows you to use an Android phone as a mouse and keyboard for a computer that uses an SSL socket connection. The Android application has the same line without errors.

What am I doing wrong?

EDIT:

Perhaps this is well known to most, but it was not for me, so for those like me, this is what I did.

The reason I used BKS was that this is the only format allowed by android, but I did not know that you only need it on the Android side, you can use a different format on the server, and then make a copy of the key and convert it in BKS for use on android, eliminating the need for a BouncyCastle.

I used the JKS key for the server and converted a copy of this key to BKS for use on android using a program called portecle.

Answer 1

This error indicates that keytool is trying to create an instance of the BKS repository, but no cryptographic service provider (CSP) can provide such an implementation. BKS Caster type is a type implemented by BouncyCastle CSP
Therefore, you must install the BouncyCastle provider with Java. Supplier Installation
And look at that too.

Answer 2

Include the BouncyCastle library in the project and add the provider to the code

 Security.addProvider(new BouncyCastleProvider()); KeyStore keyStore = KeyStore.getInstance("BKS");
