Managing security

In MTJ, the security management of applications is handled by security tool plug-ins that are provided with the MTJ package. The security management functionality in MTJ is a global service, allowing you to use the same keys and certificates in various mobile projects.

• MTJ preferences, where you can do the following:
• The configuring of the security manager plug-ins
  These include the key generator tools.
• The configuring of the signing provider plug-ins
  These include the signing tools.
• The Security Management for MTJ Applications window, where you can do the following:
• Key management
  This includes managing the key store, creation of keys and certificate requests and importing of certificates and certificate responses into keystores.
• Signing and unsigning applications
• Adding and removing critical and optional permissions from the project's .jad file
• Importing public key certificates to a Default ME keystore

Note: Only one security manager and one signing provider can be active at the same time.

MTJ uses a public key and a certificate. MTJ is capable of creating certificate requests, but the user is responsible for sending the requests to the correct CAs and of importing the certificates and responses into MTJ.
