How to view the contents cacerts.bks (Certificate file /system/etc/security/cacerts.bks)

Does anybody know how to view the list of root certificates that an Android device supports? I would like to see that information.

I found that /system/etc/security/cacerts.bk开发者_运维知识库s contains the root certificates information, but I am not able to decode the contents using any available editors.

I have also tried KeyTool but couldn't succeed with that.

Please suggest how to decode this file's content.

Regards,

Durga

If you do not want to be an expert who always write scripts/codes to do what he want.

This is a recommended GUI keystore tool for you: http://www.keystore-explorer.org/downloads.html

You can get the list of installed certificates in an Android device from code: In your onCreate() method, include this code:

For devices pre IceCream Sandwich (API < 14):

TrustManagerFactory tmf;
    try {
        tmf = TrustManagerFactory.getInstance(TrustManagerFactory
                .getDefaultAlgorithm());

        tmf.init((KeyStore) null);

        X509TrustManager xtm = (X509TrustManager) tmf.getTrustManagers()[0];
        for (X509Certificate cert : xtm.getAcceptedIssuers()) {
            String certStr = "S:" + cert.getSubjectDN().getName() + "\nI:"
                    + cert.getIssuerDN().getName();
            Log.d(LOG_TAG, certStr);
        }
    } catch (NoSuchAlgorithmException e) {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
        e.printStackTrace();
    } catch (KeyStoreException e) {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

For devices with Android 4.0 and upwards (API >= 14):

try 
    {
        KeyStore ks = KeyStore.getInstance("AndroidCAStore");
        if (ks != null) 
        {
            ks.load(null, null);
            Enumeration aliases = ks.aliases();
            while (aliases.hasMoreElements()) 
            {
                String alias = (String) aliases.nextElement();
                java.security.cert.X509Certificate cert = (java.security.cert.X509Certificate) ks.getCertificate(alias);

                Log.d(LOG_TAG, cert.getIssuerDN().getName());
            }
        }
    } catch (IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    } catch (KeyStoreException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    } catch (NoSuchAlgorithmException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    } catch (java.security.cert.CertificateException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
