Re: Where do you store key for encryption

In our open-esignforms project we use a layered approach for keys in which we have a boot key for the application that requires dual passwords which we then combine into a single password for PBE encryption of the boot key. We then have session keys that are encrypted with the boot key, and the session keys are used to encrypt one-up keys for encrypted blobs.

In your case, you could encrypt your key using PBE assuming you have a way to provide the password to unlock it. This would allow you to protect the key with a password, which is the most basic way to go if you don't have a keystore to use.
