Certificates

Oxygen XML Editor provides two types of keystores for certificates used for digital signatures of XML documents: Java KeyStore (JKS) and Public-Key Cryptography Standards version 12 (PKCS-12). A keystore file is protected by a password. To configure a certificate keystore, go to Options > Preferences > XML > XML Signing Certificates. You can customize the following parameters of a keystore:
