  63 .sp     
  64 .TP     
  65 \fIoptions\fR
  66 The command-line options\&. See Options\&.



  67 .TP
  68 -verify
  69 .br
  70 The \f3-verify\fR option can take zero or more keystore alias names after the JAR file name\&. When the \f3-verify\fR option is specified, the \f3jarsigner\fR command checks that the certificate used to verify each signed entry in the JAR file matches one of the keystore aliases\&. The aliases are defined in the keystore specified by \f3-keystore\fR or the default keystore\&.
  71 
  72 If you also specified the \f3-strict\fR option, and the \f3jarsigner\fR command detected severe warnings, the message, "jar verified, with signer errors" is displayed\&.









  73 .TP     
  74 \fIjar-file\fR
  75 The JAR file to be signed\&.
  76 
  77 If you also specified the \f3-strict\fR option, and the \f3jarsigner\fR command detected severe warnings, the message, "jar signed, with signer errors" is displayed\&.




  78 .TP     
  79 \fIalias\fR
  80 The aliases are defined in the keystore specified by \f3-keystore\fR or the default keystore\&.



  81 .SH DESCRIPTION    
  82 The \f3jarsigner\fR tool has two purposes:
  83 .TP 0.2i    
  84 \(bu
  85 To sign Java Archive (JAR) files\&.
  86 .TP 0.2i    
  87 \(bu
  88 To verify the signatures and integrity of signed JAR files\&.
  89 .PP
  90 The JAR feature enables the packaging of class files, images, sounds, and other digital data in a single file for faster and easier distribution\&. A tool named \f3jar\fR enables developers to produce JAR files\&. (Technically, any zip file can also be considered a JAR file, although when created by the \f3jar\fR command or processed by the \f3jarsigner\fR command, JAR files also contain a \f3META-INF/MANIFEST\&.MF\fR file\&.)
  91 .PP
  92 A digital signature is a string of bits that is computed from some data (the data being signed) and the private key of an entity (a person, company, and so on)\&. Similar to a handwritten signature, a digital signature has many useful characteristics:
  93 .TP 0.2i    
  94 \(bu
  95 Its authenticity can be verified by a computation that uses the public key corresponding to the private key used to generate the signature\&.
  96 .TP 0.2i    
  97 \(bu
  98 It cannot be forged, assuming the private key is kept secret\&.
  99 .TP 0.2i    
 100 \(bu
 101 It is a function of the data signed and thus cannot be claimed to be the signature for other data as well\&.
 102 .TP 0.2i    
 103 \(bu
 104 The signed data cannot be changed\&. If the data is changed, then the signature cannot be verified as authentic\&.
 105 .PP
 106 To generate an entity\&'s signature for a file, the entity must first have a public/private key pair associated with it and one or more certificates that authenticate its public key\&. A certificate is a digitally signed statement from one entity that says that the public key of another entity has a particular value\&.
 107 .PP
 108 The \f3jarsigner\fR command uses key and certificate information from a keystore to generate digital signatures for JAR files\&. A keystore is a database of private keys and their associated X\&.509 certificate chains that authenticate the corresponding public keys\&. The \f3keytool\fR command is used to create and administer keystores\&.
 109 .PP
 110 The \f3jarsigner\fR command uses an entity\&'s private key to generate a signature\&. The signed JAR file contains, among other things, a copy of the certificate from the keystore for the public key corresponding to the private key used to sign the file\&. The \f3jarsigner\fR command can verify the digital signature of the signed JAR file using the certificate inside it (in its signature block file)\&.
 111 .PP
 112 The \f3jarsigner\fR command can generate signatures that include a time stamp that lets a systems or deployer (including Java Plug-in) to check whether the JAR file was signed while the signing certificate was still valid\&. In addition, APIs allow applications to obtain the timestamp information\&.
 113 .PP
 114 At this time, the \f3jarsigner\fR command can only sign JAR files created by the \f3jar\fR command or zip files\&. JAR files are the same as zip files, except they also have a \f3META-INF/MANIFEST\&.MF\fR file\&. A \f3META-INF/MANIFEST\&.MF\fR file is created when the \f3jarsigner\fR command signs a zip file\&.
 115 .PP
 116 The default \f3jarsigner\fR command behavior is to sign a JAR or zip file\&. Use the \f3-verify\fR option to verify a signed JAR file\&.
 117 .PP
 118 The \f3jarsigner\fR command also attempts to validate the signer\&'s certificate after signing or verifying\&. If there is a validation error or any other problem, the command generates warning messages\&. If you specify the \f3-strict\fR option, then the command treats severe warnings as errors\&. See Errors and Warnings\&.
 119 .SS KEYSTORE\ ALIASES    
 120 All keystore entities are accessed with unique aliases\&.
 121 .PP
 122 When you use the \f3jarsigner\fR command to sign a JAR file, you must specify the alias for the keystore entry that contains the private key needed to generate the signature\&. For example, the following command signs the JAR file named \f3MyJARFile\&.jar\fR with the private key associated with the alias \f3duke\fR in the keystore named \f3mystore\fR in the \f3working\fR directory\&. Because no output file is specified, it overwrites \f3MyJARFile\&.jar\fR with the signed JAR file\&.
 123 .sp     
 124 .nf     
 125 \f3jarsigner \-keystore /working/mystore \-storepass <keystore password>\fP
 126 .fi     
 127 .nf     
 128 \f3      \-keypass <private key password> MyJARFile\&.jar duke\fP
 129 .fi     
 130 .nf     
 131 \f3\fR
 132 .fi     
 133 .sp     
 134 Keystores are protected with a password, so the store password must be specified\&. You are prompted for it when you do not specify it on the command line\&. Similarly, private keys are protected in a keystore with a password, so the private key\&'s password must be specified, and you are prompted for the password when you do not specify it on the command line and it is not the same as the store password\&.
 135 .SS KEYSTORE\ LOCATION    
 136 The \f3jarsigner\fR command has a \f3-keystore\fR option for specifying the URL of the keystore to be used\&. The keystore is by default stored in a file named \f3\&.keystore\fR in the user\&'s home directory, as determined by the \f3user\&.home\fR system property\&.














































































































































































 137 .PP
 138 On Oracle Solaris systems, \f3user\&.home\fR defaults to the user\&'s home directory\&.

 139 .PP
 140 The input stream from the \f3-keystore\fR option is passed to the \f3KeyStore\&.load\fR method\&. If \f3NONE\fR is specified as the URL, then a null stream is passed to the \f3KeyStore\&.load\fR method\&. \f3NONE\fR should be specified when the \f3KeyStore\fR class is not file based, for example, when it resides on a hardware token device\&.
 141 .SS KEYSTORE\ IMPLEMENTATION    
 142 The \f3KeyStore\fR class provided in the \f3java\&.security\fR package supplies a number of well-defined interfaces to access and modify the information in a keystore\&. You can have multiple different concrete implementations, where each implementation is for a particular type of keystore\&.


 143 .PP
 144 Currently, there are two command-line tools that use keystore implementations (\f3keytool\fR and \f3jarsigner\fR), and a GUI-based tool named Policy Tool\&. Because the \f3KeyStore\fR class is publicly available, JDK users can write additional security applications that use it\&.

 145 .PP
 146 There is a built-in default implementation provided by Oracle that implements the keystore as a file, that uses a proprietary keystore type (format) named JKS\&. The built-in implementation protects each private key with its individual password and protects the integrity of the entire keystore with a (possibly different) password\&.

 147 .PP
 148 Keystore implementations are provider-based, which means the application interfaces supplied by the \f3KeyStore\fR class are implemented in terms of a Service Provider Interface (SPI)\&. There is a corresponding abstract \f3KeystoreSpi\fR class, also in the \f3java\&.security package\fR, that defines the Service Provider Interface methods that providers must implement\&. The term provider refers to a package or a set of packages that supply a concrete implementation of a subset of services that can be accessed by the Java Security API\&. To provide a keystore implementation, clients must implement a provider and supply a \f3KeystoreSpi\fR subclass implementation, as described in How to Implement a Provider in the Java Cryptography Architecture at http://docs\&.oracle\&.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/guides/security/crypto/HowToImplAProvider\&.html




 149 .PP
 150 Applications can choose different types of keystore implementations from different providers, with the \f3getInstance\fR factory method in the \f3KeyStore\fR class\&. A keystore type defines the storage and data format of the keystore information and the algorithms used to protect private keys in the keystore and the integrity of the keystore itself\&. Keystore implementations of different types are not compatible\&.


 151 .PP
 152 The \f3jarsigner\fR command can read file-based keystores from any location that can be specified using a URL\&. In addition, the command can read non-file-based keystores such as those provided by MSCAPI on Windows and PKCS11 on all platforms\&.



























































































































 153 .PP
 154 For the \f3jarsigner\fR and \f3keytool\fR commands, you can specify a keystore type at the command line with the \f3-storetype\fR option\&. For Policy Tool, you can specify a keystore type with the \fIEdit\fR command in the \fIKeyStore\fR menu\&.
 155 .PP
 156 If you do not explicitly specify a keystore type, then the tools choose a keystore implementation based on the value of the \f3keystore\&.type\fR property specified in the security properties file\&. The security properties file is called \f3java\&.security\fR, and it resides in the JDK security properties directory, \f3java\&.home/lib/security\fR, where \f3java\&.home\fR is the runtime environment\&'s directory\&. The \f3jre\fR directory in the JDK or the top-level directory of the Java Runtime Environment (JRE)\&.

 157 .PP
 158 Each tool gets the \f3keystore\&.type\fR value and then examines all the installed providers until it finds one that implements keystores of that type\&. It then uses the keystore implementation from that provider\&.





























































































































































 159 .PP
 160 The \f3KeyStore\fR class defines a static method named \f3getDefaultType\fR that lets applications and applets retrieve the value of the \f3keystore\&.type\fR property\&. The following line of code creates an instance of the default keystore type as specified in the \f3keystore\&.type property\fR:
 161 .sp     
 162 .nf     
 163 \f3KeyStore keyStore = KeyStore\&.getInstance(KeyStore\&.getDefaultType());\fP
 164 .fi     
 165 .nf     
 166 \f3\fR
 167 .fi     
 168 .sp     
 169 The default keystore type is \f3jks\fR (the proprietary type of the keystore implementation provided by Oracle)\&. This is specified by the following line in the security properties file:
 170 .sp     
 171 .nf     
 172 \f3keystore\&.type=jks\fP
 173 .fi     
 174 .nf     
 175 \f3\fR
 176 .fi     
 177 .sp     
 178 Case does not matter in keystore type designations\&. For example, \f3JKS\fR is the same as \f3jks\fR\&.





 179 .PP
 180 To have the tools use a keystore implementation other than the default, change that line to specify a different keystore type\&. For example, if you have a provider package that supplies a keystore implementation for a keystore type called \f3pkcs12\fR, then change the line to the following:
 181 .sp     
 182 .nf     
 183 \f3keystore\&.type=pkcs12\fP
 184 .fi     
 185 .nf     
 186 \f3\fR
 187 .fi     
 188 .sp     
 189 \fINote:\fR If you use the PKCS 11 provider package, then see "KeyTool" and "JarSigner" in Java PKCS #11 Reference Guide at http://docs\&.oracle\&.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/guides/security/p11guide\&.html
 190 .SS SUPPORTED\ ALGORITHMS    
 191 By default, the \f3jarsigner\fR command signs a JAR file using one of the following algorithms:
 192 .TP 0.2i    
 193 \(bu
 194 Digital Signature Algorithm (DSA) with the SHA1 digest algorithm
 195 .TP 0.2i    
 196 \(bu
 197 RSA algorithm with the SHA256 digest algorithm
 198 .TP 0.2i    
 199 \(bu
 200 Elliptic Curve (EC) cryptography algorithm with the SHA256 with Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA)\&.
 201 .PP
 202 If the signer\&'s public and private keys are DSA keys, then \f3jarsigner\fR signs the JAR file with the \f3SHA1withDSA\fR algorithm\&. If the signer\&'s keys are RSA keys, then \f3jarsigner\fR attempts to sign the JAR file with the \f3SHA256withRSA\fR algorithm\&. If the signer\&'s keys are EC keys, then \f3jarsigner\fR signs the JAR file with the \f3SHA256withECDSA\fR algorithm\&.
 203 .PP
 204 These default signature algorithms can be overridden using the \f3-sigalg\fR option\&.
 205 .SS THE\ SIGNED\ JAR\ FILE    
 206 When the \f3jarsigner\fR command is used to sign a JAR file, the output signed JAR file is exactly the same as the input JAR file, except that it has two additional files placed in the META-INF directory:
 207 .TP 0.2i    
 208 \(bu
 209 A signature file with an \f3\&.SF\fR extension
 210 .TP 0.2i    
 211 \(bu
 212 A signature block file with a \f3\&.DSA\fR, \f3\&.RSA\fR, or \f3\&.EC\fR extension
 213 .PP
 214 The base file names for these two files come from the value of the \f3-sigFile\fR option\&. For example, when the option is \f3-sigFile MKSIGN\fR, the files are named \f3MKSIGN\&.SF\fR and \f3MKSIGN\&.DSA\fR
 215 .PP
 216 If no \f3-sigfile\fR option appears on the command line, then the base file name for the \f3\&.SF\fR and \f3\&.DSA\fR files is the first 8 characters of the alias name specified on the command line, all converted to uppercase\&. If the alias name has fewer than 8 characters, then the full alias name is used\&. If the alias name contains any characters that are not allowed in a signature file name, then each such character is converted to an underscore (_) character in forming the file name\&. Valid characters include letters, digits, underscores, and hyphens\&.
 217 .PP
 218 Signature File
 219 
 220 A signature file (\f3\&.SF\fR file) looks similar to the manifest file that is always included in a JAR file when the \f3jarsigner\fR command is used to sign the file\&. For each source file included in the JAR file, the \f3\&.SF\fR file has three lines, such as in the manifest file, that list the following:
 221 .TP 0.2i    
 222 \(bu
 223 File name
 224 .TP 0.2i    
 225 \(bu
 226 Name of the digest algorithm (SHA)
 227 .TP 0.2i    
 228 \(bu
 229 SHA digest value
 230 .PP
 231 In the manifest file, the SHA digest value for each source file is the digest (hash) of the binary data in the source file\&. In the \f3\&.SF\fR file, the digest value for a specified source file is the hash of the three lines in the manifest file for the source file\&.


 232 .PP
 233 The signature file, by default, includes a header with a hash of the whole manifest file\&. The header also contains a hash of the manifest header\&. The presence of the header enables verification optimization\&. See JAR File Verification\&.









 234 .PP
 235 Signature Block File
 236 
 237 The \f3\&.SF\fR file is signed and the signature is placed in the signature block file\&. This file also contains, encoded inside it, the certificate or certificate chain from the keystore that authenticates the public key corresponding to the private key used for signing\&. The file has the extension \f3\&.DSA\fR, \f3\&.RSA\fR, or \f3\&.EC\fR, depending on the digest algorithm used\&.
 238 .SS SIGNATURE\ TIME\ STAMP    
 239 The \f3jarsigner\fR command can generate and store a signature time stamp when signing a JAR file\&. In addition, \f3jarsigner\fR supports alternative signing mechanisms\&. This behavior is optional and is controlled by the user at the time of signing through these options\&. See Options\&.

 260 .SS JAR\ FILE\ VERIFICATION    
 261 A successful JAR file verification occurs when the signatures are valid, and none of the files that were in the JAR file when the signatures were generated have changed since then\&. JAR file verification involves the following steps:
 262 .TP 0.4i    
 263 1\&.
 264 Verify the signature of the \f3\&.SF\fR file\&.
 265 
 266 The verification ensures that the signature stored in each signature block (\f3\&.DSA\fR) file was generated using the private key corresponding to the public key whose certificate (or certificate chain) also appears in the \f3\&.DSA\fR file\&. It also ensures that the signature is a valid signature of the corresponding signature (\f3\&.SF\fR) file, and thus the \f3\&.SF\fR file was not tampered with\&.
 267 .TP 0.4i    
 268 2\&.
 269 Verify the digest listed in each entry in the \f3\&.SF\fR file with each corresponding section in the manifest\&.
 270 
 271 The \f3\&.SF\fR file by default includes a header that contains a hash of the entire manifest file\&. When the header is present, the verification can check to see whether or not the hash in the header matches the hash of the manifest file\&. If there is a match, then verification proceeds to the next step\&.
 272 
 273 If there is no match, then a less optimized verification is required to ensure that the hash in each source file information section in the \f3\&.SF\fR file equals the hash of its corresponding section in the manifest file\&. See Signature File\&.
 274 
 275 One reason the hash of the manifest file that is stored in the \f3\&.SF\fR file header might not equal the hash of the current manifest file is that one or more files were added to the JAR file (with the \f3jar\fR tool) after the signature and \f3\&.SF\fR file were generated\&. When the \f3jar\fR tool is used to add files, the manifest file is changed by adding sections to it for the new files, but the \f3\&.SF\fR file is not changed\&. A verification is still considered successful when none of the files that were in the JAR file when the signature was generated have been changed since then\&. This happens when the hashes in the non-header sections of the \f3\&.SF\fR file equal the hashes of the corresponding sections in the manifest file\&.
 276 .TP 0.4i    
 277 3\&.
 278 Read each file in the JAR file that has an entry in the \f3\&.SF\fR file\&. While reading, compute the file\&'s digest and compare the result with the digest for this file in the manifest section\&. The digests should be the same or verification fails\&.
 279 
 280 If any serious verification failures occur during the verification process, then the process is stopped and a security exception is thrown\&. The \f3jarsigner\fR command catches and displays the exception\&.
 281 .PP
 282 \fINote:\fR You should read any addition warnings (or errors if you specified the \f3-strict\fR option), as well as the content of the certificate (by specifying the \f3-verbose\fR and \f3-certs\fR options) to determine if the signature can be trusted\&.
 283 .SS MULTIPLE\ SIGNATURES\ FOR\ A\ JAR\ FILE    
 284 A JAR file can be signed by multiple people by running the \f3jarsigner\fR command on the file multiple times and specifying the alias for a different person each time, as follows:
 285 .sp     
 286 .nf     
 287 \f3jarsigner myBundle\&.jar susan\fP
 288 .fi     
 289 .nf     
 290 \f3jarsigner myBundle\&.jar kevin\fP
 291 .fi     
 292 .nf     
 293 \f3\fR
 294 .fi     
 295 .sp     
 296 When a JAR file is signed multiple times, there are multiple \f3\&.SF\fR and \f3\&.DSA\fR files in the resulting JAR file, one pair for each signature\&. In the previous example, the output JAR file includes files with the following names:
 297 .sp     
 298 .nf     
 299 \f3SUSAN\&.SF\fP
 300 .fi     
 301 .nf

 325 .TP
 326 -keystore \fIurl\fR
 327 .br
 328 Specifies the URL that tells the keystore location\&. This defaults to the file \f3\&.keystore\fR in the user\&'s home directory, as determined by the \f3user\&.home\fR system property\&.
 329 
 330 A keystore is required when signing\&. You must explicitly specify a keystore when the default keystore does not exist or if you want to use one other than the default\&.
 331 
 332 A keystore is not required when verifying, but if one is specified or the default exists and the \f3-verbose\fR option was also specified, then additional information is output regarding whether or not any of the certificates used to verify the JAR file are contained in that keystore\&.
 333 
 334 The \f3-keystore\fR argument can be a file name and path specification rather than a URL, in which case it is treated the same as a file: URL, for example, the following are equivalent:

 419 If no \f3-sigfile\fR option appears on the command line, then the base file name for the \f3\&.SF\fR and \f3\&.DSA\fR files is the first 8 characters of the alias name specified on the command line, all converted to upper case\&. If the alias name has fewer than 8 characters, then the full alias name is used\&. If the alias name contains any characters that are not valid in a signature file name, then each such character is converted to an underscore (_) character to form the file name\&.

 426 
 427 This algorithm must be compatible with the private key used to sign the JAR file\&. If this option is not specified, then \f3SHA1withDSA\fR, \f3SHA256withRSA\fR, or \f3SHA256withECDSA\fR are used depending on the type of private key\&. There must either be a statically installed provider supplying an implementation of the specified algorithm or the user must specify one with the \f3-providerClass\fR option; otherwise, the command will not succeed\&.

 436 .TP
 437 -certs
 438 .br
 439 If the \f3-certs\fR option appears on the command line with the \f3-verify\fR and \f3-verbose\fR options, then the output includes certificate information for each signer of the JAR file\&. This information includes the name of the type of certificate (stored in the \f3\&.DSA\fR file) that certifies the signer\&'s public key, and if the certificate is an X\&.509 certificate (an instance of the \f3java\&.security\&.cert\&.X509Certificate\fR), then the distinguished name of the signer\&.
 440 
 441 The keystore is also examined\&. If no keystore value is specified on the command line, then the default keystore file (if any) is checked\&. If the public key certificate for a signer matches an entry in the keystore, then the alias name for the keystore entry for that signer is displayed in parentheses\&.













 442 .TP
 443 -certchain \fIfile\fR
 444 .br
 445 Specifies the certificate chain to be used when the certificate chain associated with the private key of the keystore entry that is addressed by the alias specified on the command line is not complete\&. This can happen when the keystore is located on a hardware token where there is not enough capacity to hold a complete certificate chain\&. The file can be a sequence of concatenated X\&.509 certificates, or a single PKCS#7 formatted data block, either in binary encoding format or in printable encoding format (also known as Base64 encoding) as defined by the Internet RFC 1421 standard\&. See Internet RFC 1421 Certificate Encoding Standard and http://tools\&.ietf\&.org/html/rfc1421\&.

 446 .TP
 447 -verbose

 450 .TP
 451 -internalsf
 452 .br
 453 In the past, the \f3\&.DSA\fR (signature block) file generated when a JAR file was signed included a complete encoded copy of the \f3\&.SF\fR file (signature file) also generated\&. This behavior has been changed\&. To reduce the overall size of the output JAR file, the \f3\&.DSA\fR file by default does not contain a copy of the \f3\&.SF\fR file anymore\&. If \f3-internalsf\fR appears on the command line, then the old behavior is utilized\&. This option is useful for testing\&. In practice, do not use the \f3-internalsf\fR option because it incurs higher overhead\&.















 454 .TP
 455 -sectionsonly
 456 .br
 457 If the \f3-sectionsonly\fR option appears on the command line, then the \f3\&.SF\fR file (signature file) generated when a JAR file is signed does not include a header that contains a hash of the whole manifest file\&. It contains only the information and hashes related to each individual source file included in the JAR file\&. See Signature File\&.
 458 
 459 By default, this header is added, as an optimization\&. When the header is present, whenever the JAR file is verified, the verification can first check to see whether the hash in the header matches the hash of the whole manifest file\&. When there is a match, verification proceeds to the next step\&. When there is no match, it is necessary to do a less optimized verification that the hash in each source file information section in the \f3\&.SF\fR file equals the hash of its corresponding section in the manifest file\&. See JAR File Verification\&.
 460 
 461 The \f3-sectionsonly\fR option is primarily used for testing\&. It should not be used other than for testing because using it incurs higher overhead\&.

 494 
 495 For the Oracle PKCS #11 provider, \fIproviderName\fR is of the form \f3SunPKCS11-\fR\fITokenName\fR, where \fITokenName\fR is the name suffix that the provider instance has been configured with, as detailed in the configuration attributes table\&.

This option should not contain any spaces\&. It is useful for adjusting the execution environment or memory usage\&. For a list of possible interpreter options, type \f3java -h\fR or \f3java -X\fR at the command line\&.












 515 .TP
 516 -tsa \fIurl\fR
 517 .br
 518 If \f3-tsa http://example\&.tsa\&.url\fR appears on the command line when signing a JAR file then a time stamp is generated for the signature\&. The URL, \f3http://example\&.tsa\&.url\fR, identifies the location of the Time Stamping Authority (TSA) and overrides any URL found with the \f3-tsacert\fR option\&. The \f3-tsa\fR option does not require the TSA public key certificate to be present in the keystore\&.
 519 
 520 To generate the time stamp, \f3jarsigner\fR communicates with the TSA with the Time-Stamp Protocol (TSP) defined in RFC 3161\&. When successful, the time stamp token returned by the TSA is stored with the signature in the signature block file\&.




















 521 .TP
 522 -tsacert \fIalias\fR
 523 .br
 524 When \f3-tsacert alias\fR appears on the command line when signing a JAR file, a time stamp is generated for the signature\&. The alias identifies the TSA public key certificate in the keystore that is in effect\&. The entry\&'s certificate is examined for a Subject Information Access extension that contains a URL identifying the location of the TSA\&.
 525 
 526 The TSA public key certificate must be present in the keystore when using the \f3-tsacert\fR option\&.

 527 .TP
 528 -tsapolicyid \fIpolicyid\fR

 530 Specifies the object identifier (OID) that identifies the policy ID to be sent to the TSA server\&. If this option is not specified, no policy ID is sent and the TSA server will choose a default policy ID\&.
 531 
 532 Object identifiers are defined by X\&.696, which is an ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) standard\&. These identifiers are typically period-separated sets of non-negative digits like \f31\&.2\&.3\&.4\fR, for example\&.














 533 .TP
 534 -altsigner \fIclass\fR
 535 .br
 536 This option specifies an alternative signing mechanism\&. The fully qualified class name identifies a class file that extends the \f3com\&.sun\&.jarsigner\&.ContentSigner\fR abstract class\&. The path to this class file is defined by the \f3-altsignerpath\fR option\&. If the \f3-altsigner\fR option is used, then the \f3jarsigner\fR command uses the signing mechanism provided by the specified class\&. Otherwise, the \f3jarsigner\fR command uses its default signing mechanism\&.
 537 
 538 For example, to use the signing mechanism provided by a class named \f3com\&.sun\&.sun\&.jarsigner\&.AuthSigner\fR, use the jarsigner option \f3-altsigner com\&.sun\&.jarsigner\&.AuthSigner\fR\&.














 539 .TP
 540 -altsignerpath \fIclasspathlist\fR
 541 .br
 542 Specifies the path to the class file and any JAR file it depends on\&. The class file name is specified with the \f3-altsigner\fR option\&. If the class file is in a JAR file, then this option specifies the path to that JAR file\&.
 543 
 544 An absolute path or a path relative to the current directory can be specified\&. If \fIclasspathlist\fR contains multiple paths or JAR files, then they should be separated with a colon (:) on Oracle Solaris and a semicolon (;) on Windows\&. This option is not necessary when the class is already in the search path\&.

If the \f3-certs\fR and the \f3-verbose:grouped\fR suboptions are specified, then entries with the same signer info are grouped and displayed together with their certificate information\&. If \f3-certs\fR and the \f3-verbose:summary\fR suboptions are specified, then entries with the same signer information are grouped and displayed together with their certificate information\&. Details about each entry are summarized and displayed as \fIone entry (and more)\fR\&. See Examples\&.

 651 If you want to be prompted for the store password and the private key password, then you could shorten the previous command to the following:
 652 .sp     
 653 .nf     
 654 \f3jarsigner \-keystore /working/mystore\fP
 655 .fi     
 656 .nf

 658 .fi     
 659 .nf     
 660 \f3\fR
 661 .fi     
 662 .sp     
 663 If the keystore is the default keystore (\&.keystore in your home directory), then you do not need to specify a keystore, as follows:
 664 .sp     
 665 .nf     
 666 \f3jarsigner \-signedjar sbundle\&.jar bundle\&.jar jane\fP
 667 .fi     
 668 .nf     
 669 \f3\fR
 670 .fi     
 671 .sp     
 672 If you want the signed JAR file to overwrite the input JAR file (bundle\&.jar), then you do not need to specify a \f3-signedjar\fR option, as follows:
 673 .sp     
 674 .nf     
 675 \f3jarsigner bundle\&.jar jane\fP
 676 .fi

 681 .SS VERIFY\ A\ SIGNED\ JAR\ FILE    
 682 To verify a signed JAR file to ensure that the signature is valid and the JAR file was not been tampered with, use a command such as the following:
 683 .sp     
 684 .nf     
 685 \f3jarsigner \-verify sbundle\&.jar\fP
 686 .fi

  73 .PP
  74 The \f[CB]jarsigner\f[R] tool has two purposes:
  75 .IP \[bu] 2
  76 To sign Java Archive (JAR) files.
  77 .IP \[bu] 2
  78 To verify the signatures and integrity of signed JAR files.
  79 .PP
  80 The JAR feature enables the packaging of class files, images, sounds,
  81 and other digital data in a single file for faster and easier
  82 distribution.
  83 A tool named \f[CB]jar\f[R] enables developers to produce JAR files.
  84 (Technically, any ZIP file can also be considered a JAR file, although
  85 when created by the \f[CB]jar\f[R] command or processed by the
  86 \f[CB]jarsigner\f[R] command, JAR files also contain a
  87 \f[CB]META\-INF/MANIFEST.MF\f[R] file.)
  88 .PP
  89 A digital signature is a string of bits that is computed from some data
  90 (the data being signed) and the private key of an entity (a person,
  91 company, and so on).
  92 Similar to a handwritten signature, a digital signature has many useful
  93 characteristics:
  94 .IP \[bu] 2
  95 Its authenticity can be verified by a computation that uses the public
  96 key corresponding to the private key used to generate the signature.
  97 .IP \[bu] 2
  98 It can\[aq]t be forged, assuming the private key is kept secret.
  99 .IP \[bu] 2
 100 It is a function of the data signed and thus can\[aq]t be claimed to be
 101 the signature for other data as well.
 102 .IP \[bu] 2
 103 The signed data can\[aq]t be changed.
 104 If the data is changed, then the signature can\[aq]t be verified as
 105 authentic.
 106 .PP
 107 To generate an entity\[aq]s signature for a file, the entity must first
 108 have a public/private key pair associated with it and one or more
 109 certificates that authenticate its public key.
 110 A certificate is a digitally signed statement from one entity that says
 111 that the public key of another entity has a particular value.
 112 .PP
 113 The \f[CB]jarsigner\f[R] command uses key and certificate information from
 114 a keystore to generate digital signatures for JAR files.
 115 A keystore is a database of private keys and their associated X.509
 116 certificate chains that authenticate the corresponding public keys.
 117 The \f[CB]keytool\f[R] command is used to create and administer keystores.
 118 .PP
 119 The \f[CB]jarsigner\f[R] command uses an entity\[aq]s private key to
 120 generate a signature.
 121 The signed JAR file contains, among other things, a copy of the
 122 certificate from the keystore for the public key corresponding to the
 123 private key used to sign the file.
 124 The \f[CB]jarsigner\f[R] command can verify the digital signature of the
 125 signed JAR file using the certificate inside it (in its signature block
 126 file).
 127 .PP
 128 The \f[CB]jarsigner\f[R] command can generate signatures that include a
 129 time stamp that enables a systems or deployer to check whether the JAR
 130 file was signed while the signing certificate was still valid.
 131 .PP
 132 In addition, APIs allow applications to obtain the timestamp
 133 information.
 134 .PP
 135 At this time, the \f[CB]jarsigner\f[R] command can only sign JAR files
 136 created by the \f[CB]jar\f[R] command or zip files.
 137 JAR files are the same as zip files, except they also have a
 138 \f[CB]META\-INF/MANIFEST.MF\f[R] file.
 139 A \f[CB]META\-INF/MANIFEST.MF\f[R] file is created when the
 140 \f[CB]jarsigner\f[R] command signs a zip file.
 141 .PP
 142 The default \f[CB]jarsigner\f[R] command behavior is to sign a JAR or zip
 143 file.
 144 Use the \f[CB]\-verify\f[R] option to verify a signed JAR file.
 145 .PP
 146 The \f[CB]jarsigner\f[R] command also attempts to validate the
 147 signer\[aq]s certificate after signing or verifying.
 148 If there is a validation error or any other problem, the command
 149 generates warning messages.
 150 If you specify the \f[CB]\-strict\f[R] option, then the command treats
 151 severe warnings as errors.
 152 See \f[B]Errors and Warnings\f[R].
 153 .SH KEYSTORE ALIASES
 154 .PP
 155 All keystore entities are accessed with unique aliases.
 156 .PP
 157 When you use the \f[CB]jarsigner\f[R] command to sign a JAR file, you must
 158 specify the alias for the keystore entry that contains the private key
 159 needed to generate the signature.
 160 If no output file is specified, it overwrites the original JAR file with
 161 the signed JAR file.
 162 .PP
 163 Keystores are protected with a password, so the store password must be
 164 specified.
 165 You are prompted for it when you don\[aq]t specify it on the command
 166 line.
 167 Similarly, private keys are protected in a keystore with a password, so
 168 the private key\[aq]s password must be specified, and you are prompted
 169 for the password when you don\[aq]t specify it on the command line and
 170 it isn\[aq]t the same as the store password.
 171 .SH KEYSTORE LOCATION
 172 .PP
 173 The \f[CB]jarsigner\f[R] command has a \f[CB]\-keystore\f[R] option for
 174 specifying the URL of the keystore to be used.
 175 The keystore is by default stored in a file named \f[CB]\&.keystore\f[R]
 176 in the user\[aq]s home directory, as determined by the
 177 \f[CB]user.home\f[R] system property.
 178 .PP
 179 \f[B]Oracle Solaris, Linux, and OS X:\f[R] \f[CB]user.home\f[R] defaults to
 180 the user\[aq]s home directory.
 181 .PP
 182 The input stream from the \f[CB]\-keystore\f[R] option is passed to the
 183 \f[CB]KeyStore.load\f[R] method.
 184 If \f[CB]NONE\f[R] is specified as the URL, then a null stream is passed
 185 to the \f[CB]KeyStore.load\f[R] method.
 186 \f[CB]NONE\f[R] should be specified when the \f[CB]KeyStore\f[R] class
 187 isn\[aq]t file based, for example, when it resides on a hardware token
 188 device.
 189 .SH KEYSTORE IMPLEMENTATION
 190 .PP
 191 The \f[CB]KeyStore\f[R] class provided in the \f[CB]java.security\f[R]
 192 package supplies a number of well\-defined interfaces to access and
 193 modify the information in a keystore.
 194 You can have multiple different concrete implementations, where each
 195 implementation is for a particular type of keystore.
 196 .PP
 197 Currently, there are two command\-line tools that use keystore
 198 implementations (\f[CB]keytool\f[R] and \f[CB]jarsigner\f[R]).
 199 .PP
 200 The default keystore implementation is \f[CB]PKCS12\f[R].
 201 This is a cross platform keystore based on the RSA PKCS12 Personal
 202 Information Exchange Syntax Standard.
 203 This standard is primarily meant for storing or transporting a
 204 user\[aq]s private keys, certificates, and miscellaneous secrets.
 205 There is another built\-in implementation, provided by Oracle.
 206 It implements the keystore as a file with a proprietary keystore type
 207 (format) named \f[CB]JKS\f[R].
 208 It protects each private key with its individual password, and also
 209 protects the integrity of the entire keystore with a (possibly
 210 different) password.
 211 .PP
 212 Keystore implementations are provider\-based, which means the
 213 application interfaces supplied by the \f[CB]KeyStore\f[R] class are
 214 implemented in terms of a Service Provider Interface (SPI).
 215 There is a corresponding abstract \f[CB]KeystoreSpi\f[R] class, also in
 216 the \f[CB]java.security\ package\f[R], that defines the Service Provider
 217 Interface methods that providers must implement.
 218 The term provider refers to a package or a set of packages that supply a
 219 concrete implementation of a subset of services that can be accessed by
 220 the Java Security API.
 221 To provide a keystore implementation, clients must implement a provider
 222 and supply a \f[CB]KeystoreSpi\f[R] subclass implementation, as described
 223 in \f[B]How to Implement a Provider in the Java Cryptography
 224 Architecture\f[R]
 225 [https://www.oracle.com/pls/topic/lookup?ctx=en/java/javase/11/tools&id=JSSEC\-GUID\-2BCFDD85\-D533\-4E6C\-8CE9\-29990DEB0190].
 226 .PP
 227 Applications can choose different types of keystore implementations from
 228 different providers, with the \f[CB]getInstance\f[R] factory method in the
 229 \f[CB]KeyStore\f[R] class.
 230 A keystore type defines the storage and data format of the keystore
 231 information and the algorithms used to protect private keys in the
 232 keystore and the integrity of the keystore itself.
 233 Keystore implementations of different types aren\[aq]t compatible.
 234 .PP
 235 The \f[CB]jarsigner\f[R] commands can read file\-based keystores from any
 236 location that can be specified using a URL.
 237 In addition, these commands can read non\-file\-based keystores such as
 238 those provided by MSCAPI on Windows and PKCS11 on all platforms.
 239 .PP
 240 For the \f[CB]jarsigner\f[R] and \f[CB]keytool\f[R] commands, you can
 241 specify a keystore type at the command line with the
 242 \f[CB]\-storetype\f[R] option.
 243 .PP
 244 If you don\[aq]t explicitly specify a keystore type, then the tools
 245 choose a keystore implementation based on the value of the
 246 \f[CB]keystore.type\f[R] property specified in the security properties
 247 file.
 248 The security properties file is called \f[CB]java.security\f[R], and it
 249 resides in the JDK security properties directory,
 250 \f[CB]java.home/conf/security\f[R].
 251 .PP
 252 Each tool gets the \f[CB]keystore.type\f[R] value and then examines all
 253 the installed providers until it finds one that implements keystores of
 254 that type.
 255 It then uses the keystore implementation from that provider.
 256 .PP
 257 The \f[CB]KeyStore\f[R] class defines a static method named
 258 \f[CB]getDefaultType\f[R] that lets applications retrieve the value of the
 259 \f[CB]keystore.type\f[R] property.
 260 The following line of code creates an instance of the default keystore
 261 type as specified in the \f[CB]keystore.type\f[R] property:
 262 .RS
 263 .PP
 264 \f[CB]KeyStore\ keyStore\ =\ KeyStore.getInstance(KeyStore.getDefaultType());\f[R]
 265 .RE
 266 .PP
 267 The default keystore type is \f[CB]pkcs12\f[R], which is a cross platform
 268 keystore based on the RSA PKCS12 Personal Information Exchange Syntax
 269 Standard.
 270 This is specified by the following line in the security properties file:
 271 .RS
 272 .PP
 273 \f[CB]keystore.type=pkcs12\f[R]
 274 .RE
 275 .PP
 276 Case doesn\[aq]t matter in keystore type designations.
 277 For example, \f[CB]JKS\f[R] is the same as \f[CB]jks\f[R].
 278 .PP

 354 Signed JAR file algorithms are checked against the
 355 \f[CB]jdk.jar.disabledAlgorithms\f[R] security property during
 356 verification (\f[CB]\-verify\f[R]).
 357 If the JAR file was signed with any algorithms that are disabled, it
 358 will be treated as an unsigned JAR file.
 359 For detailed verification output, include
 360 \f[CB]\-J\-Djava.security.debug=jar\f[R].
 361 The default value for the \f[CB]jdk.jar.disabledAlgorithms\f[R] security
 362 property is defined in the \f[CB]java.security\f[R] file (located in the

 367 In order to improve out of the box security, default key size and

 370 If interoperability with older releases of the JDK is important, please
 371 make sure the defaults are supported by those releases, or alternatively
 372 use the \f[CB]\-sigalg\f[R] option to override the default values at your
 373 own risk.
 374 .SH THE SIGNED JAR FILE
 375 .PP
 376 When the \f[CB]jarsigner\f[R] command is used to sign a JAR file, the
 377 output signed JAR file is exactly the same as the input JAR file, except
 378 that it has two additional files placed in the META\-INF directory:
 379 .IP \[bu] 2
 380 A signature file with an \f[CB]\&.SF\f[R] extension
 381 .IP \[bu] 2
 382 A signature block file with a \f[CB]\&.DSA\f[R], \f[CB]\&.RSA\f[R], or
 383 \f[CB]\&.EC\f[R] extension
 384 .PP
 385 The base file names for these two files come from the value of the
 386 \f[CB]\-sigfile\f[R] option.
 387 For example, when the option is \f[CB]\-sigfile\ MKSIGN\f[R], the files
 388 are named \f[CB]MKSIGN.SF\f[R] and \f[CB]MKSIGN.DSA\f[R]
 389 .PP
 390 If no \f[CB]\-sigfile\f[R] option appears on the command line, then the
 391 base file name for the \f[CB]\&.SF\f[R] and \f[CB]\&.DSA\f[R] files is the
 392 first 8 characters of the alias name specified on the command line, all
 393 converted to uppercase.
 394 If the alias name has fewer than 8 characters, then the full alias name
 395 is used.
 396 If the alias name contains any characters that aren\[aq]t allowed in a
 397 signature file name, then each such character is converted to an
 398 underscore (_) character in forming the file name.
 399 Valid characters include letters, digits, underscores, and hyphens.
 400 .SH SIGNATURE FILE
 401 .PP
 402 A signature file (\f[CB]\&.SF\f[R] file) looks similar to the manifest
 403 file that is always included in a JAR file when the \f[CB]jarsigner\f[R]
 404 command is used to sign the file.
 405 For each source file included in the JAR file, the \f[CB]\&.SF\f[R] file
 406 has two lines, such as in the manifest file, that list the following:
 407 .IP \[bu] 2
 408 File name
 409 .IP \[bu] 2
 410 Name of the digest algorithm (SHA)
 411 .IP \[bu] 2
 412 SHA digest value
 413 .PP
 414 \f[B]Note:\f[R]
 415 .PP
 416 The name of the digest algorithm (SHA) and the SHA digest value are on
 417 the same line.
 418 .PP
 419 In the manifest file, the SHA digest value for each source file is the
 420 digest (hash) of the binary data in the source file.
 421 In the \f[CB]\&.SF\f[R] file, the digest value for a specified source file
 422 is the hash of the two lines in the manifest file for the source file.
 423 .PP
 424 The signature file, by default, includes a header with a hash of the
 425 whole manifest file.
 426 The header also contains a hash of the manifest header.
 427 The presence of the header enables verification optimization.
 428 See \f[B]JAR File Verification\f[R].
 429 .SH SIGNATURE BLOCK FILE
 430 .PP
 431 The \f[CB]\&.SF\f[R] file is signed and the signature is placed in the
 432 signature block file.
 433 This file also contains, encoded inside it, the certificate or
 434 certificate chain from the keystore that authenticates the public key
 435 corresponding to the private key used for signing.
 436 The file has the extension \f[CB]\&.DSA\f[R], \f[CB]\&.RSA\f[R], or
 437 \f[CB]\&.EC\f[R], depending on the digest algorithm used.
 438 .SH SIGNATURE TIME STAMP
 439 .PP
 440 The \f[CB]jarsigner\f[R] command used with the following options generates
 441 and stores a signature time stamp when signing a JAR file:

 452 .SH JAR FILE VERIFICATION
 453 .PP
 454 A successful JAR file verification occurs when the signatures are valid,
 455 and none of the files that were in the JAR file when the signatures were
 456 generated have changed since then.
 457 JAR file verification involves the following steps:
 458 .IP "1." 3
 459 Verify the signature of the \f[CB]\&.SF\f[R] file.
 460 .RS 4
 461 .PP
 462 The verification ensures that the signature stored in each signature
 463 block (\f[CB]\&.DSA\f[R]) file was generated using the private key
 464 corresponding to the public key whose certificate (or certificate chain)
 465 also appears in the \f[CB]\&.DSA\f[R] file.
 466 It also ensures that the signature is a valid signature of the
 467 corresponding signature (\f[CB]\&.SF\f[R]) file, and thus the
 468 \f[CB]\&.SF\f[R] file wasn\[aq]t tampered with.
 469 .RE
 470 .IP "2." 3
 471 Verify the digest listed in each entry in the \f[CB]\&.SF\f[R] file with
 472 each corresponding section in the manifest.
 473 .RS 4
 474 .PP
 475 The \f[CB]\&.SF\f[R] file by default includes a header that contains a
 476 hash of the entire manifest file.
 477 When the header is present, the verification can check to see whether or
 478 not the hash in the header matches the hash of the manifest file.
 479 If there is a match, then verification proceeds to the next step.
 480 .PP
 481 If there is no match, then a less optimized verification is required to
 482 ensure that the hash in each source file information section in the
 483 \f[CB]\&.SF\f[R] file equals the hash of its corresponding section in the
 484 manifest file.
 485 See Signature File.
 486 .PP
 487 One reason the hash of the manifest file that is stored in the
 488 \f[CB]\&.SF\f[R] file header might not equal the hash of the current
 489 manifest file is that one or more files were added to the JAR file (with
 490 the \f[CB]jar\f[R] tool) after the signature and \f[CB]\&.SF\f[R] file were
 491 generated.
 492 When the \f[CB]jar\f[R] tool is used to add files, the manifest file is
 493 changed by adding sections to it for the new files, but the
 494 \f[CB]\&.SF\f[R] file isn\[aq]t changed.
 495 A verification is still considered successful when none of the files
 496 that were in the JAR file when the signature was generated have been
 497 changed since then.
 498 This happens when the hashes in the non\-header sections of the
 499 \f[CB]\&.SF\f[R] file equal the hashes of the corresponding sections in
 500 the manifest file.
 501 .RE
 502 .IP "3." 3

 511 process, then the process is stopped and a security exception is thrown.

 523 determine if the signature can be trusted.
 524 .SH MULTIPLE SIGNATURES FOR A JAR FILE
 525 .PP
 526 A JAR file can be signed by multiple people by running the
 527 \f[CB]jarsigner\f[R] command on the file multiple times and specifying the
 528 alias for a different person each time, as follows:

1243 (\f[CB]\&.keystore\f[R] in your home directory), then you don\[aq]t need
1244 to specify a \f[CB]keystore\f[R], as follows:

1258 .PP
1259 To verify a signed JAR file to ensure that the signature is valid and
1260 the JAR file wasn\[aq]t been tampered with, use a command such as the
1261 following:
1262 .RS
1263 .PP
1264 \f[CB]jarsigner\ \-verify\ ButtonDemo.jar\f[R]
1265 .RE
1266 .PP
1267 When the verification is successful, \f[CB]jar\ verified\f[R] is
1268 displayed.
1269 Otherwise, an error message is displayed.
1270 You can get more information when you use the \f[CB]\-verbose\f[R] option.
1271 A sample use of \f[CB]jarsigner\f[R] with the \f[CB]\-verbose\f[R] option
1272 follows:

1312 The information includes the certificate type, the signer distinguished
1313 name information (when it is an X.509 certificate), and in parentheses,
1314 the keystore alias for the signer when the public key certificate in the

1385 If the certificate for a signer isn\[aq]t an X.509 certificate, then
1386 there is no distinguished name information.
1387 In that case, just the certificate type and the alias are shown.
1388 For example, if the certificate is a PGP certificate, and the alias is
1389 \f[CB]bob\f[R], then you would get: \f[CB]PGP,\ (bob)\f[R].
