About Keystores
ADT uses the Java Cryptography Architecture (JCA) to access private keys and certificates for signing AIR applications. The signing options identify the keystore and the private key and certificate within that keystore.
The default keystore implementation included with most installations of Java supports the JKS and PKCS12 types. Java 5.0 includes support for the PKCS11 type, for accessing keystores on hardware tokens, and the Keychain type, for accessing the Mac OS X keychain. Java 6.0 adds support for the MSCAPI type on Microsoft Windows. If other JCA providers have been installed and configured on your computer, additional keystore types may be available. If no keystore type is specified, the default type for the default JCA provider is used.
