Java Keytool


Question

I have my problems understanding this little tool. I want to do the following:

1 Server which should function as its own CA (Certificate Authority). So it needs a self signed Certificate.

This server should generate the Certificated for all Clients (2 will suffice at this moment).

Can somebody help me through the process?

So far i got the following batch file. But this way every certificate is self-signed. I want the certificates from alice and bob issued by victor. Any idea how to do it?

echo Creating RSA key pairs for the clients (alice and bob) 
REM alice
keytool -genkey -alias alice -keyalg RSA -dname "CN=alice" -keypass passwd -keystore keystore_alice -storepass passwd -storetype JCEKS

REM bob
keytool -genkey -alias bob -keyalg RSA -dname "CN=bob" -keypass passwd -keystore keystore_bob -storepass passwd -storetype JCEKS

echo copy the client certificates to keystore of server
keytool -export -alias alice -file alice.cer -keystore keystore_alice -storepass passwd -storetype JCEKS
keytool -export -alias bob -file bob.cer -keystore keystore_bob -storepass passwd -storetype JCEKS


keytool -import -noprompt -alias alice -file alice.cer -keystore keystore_victor -storepass passwd -storetype JCEKS
keytool -import -noprompt -alias bob -file bob.cer -keystore keystore_victor -storepass passwd -storetype JCEKS

del alice.cer
del bob.cer

echo Create RSA keys for Server (Victor)
keytool -genkey -alias victor -keyalg RSA -dname "CN=victor" -keypass passwd -keystore keystore_victor -storepass passwd -storetype JCEKS

echo Copy Certificate from Victor to Alice and Bob
keytool -export -alias victor -file victor.cer -keystore keystore_victor -storepass passwd -storetype JCEKS
keytool -import -noprompt -alias victor -file victor.cer -keystore keystore_alice -storepass passwd -storetype JCEKS
keytool -import -noprompt -alias victor -file victor.cer -keystore keystore_bob -storepass passwd -storetype JCEKS

del victor.cer

    • Chinese? It sounds extremely dangerous. I’ll reconsider buying a Meta Quest 3.
    • - What's your salary? Is it more than $100k a year? - Nah, it's $100 mil a year.
    • Compared to my ear buds which are the size of a matchbox, cover a much broader frequency range, and work everywhere without setup? Yeah, still not buying this as a replacement.
    • Meta's Superintelligence team staffed by 50% Chinese talent, 40% ex-OpenAI by Hamid Ganji Mark Zuckerberg's latest big bet at Meta involves building a team of the best AI superstars in the market to lead the so-called Superintelligence Labs. The goal of this team is to develop AI models that will ultimately lead to Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). AGI refers to an AI model with capabilities comparable to, or even beyond, those of the human brain. Achieving human-level cognitive abilities with an AI model requires substantial investments, as well as hiring the best talent to build such a system. That's why Meta is throwing hundreds of millions of dollars at AI researchers from OpenAI, Apple, and other companies to recruit them for its Superintelligence team. A user on X has now shared a spreadsheet that provides us with some unique insights into Meta's Superintelligence team and the origins of its 44 employees. The leaker claims this information comes from an anonymous Meta employee. The listing claims that 50 percent of the staff at the Superintelligence team are from China, which demonstrates the significant role of Chinese or Chinese-origin researchers in Met's AI efforts. Additionally, 75 percent of these staff hold PhDs, and 70 percent of them work as researchers. Interestingly, 40 percent of the staff are ex-OpenAI employees whom Mark Zuckerberg poached from the maker of ChatGPT. Additionally, 20 percent of Meta's Superintelligence team members come from Google DeepMind, and another 15 percent come from Scale AI, a startup that Meta recently acquired in a $15 billion deal. Another interesting point is that 75 percent of the Superintelligence team are first-generation immigrants. The leaker claims that each of these employees is now earning between $10 million and $100 million per year, although Meta still needs to confirm these substantial figures. However, it has already been reported that Meta is offering up to $100 million in signup bonuses to poach the best AI talent from OpenAI and other rivals. The revelation that half of Meta's Superintelligence team consists of Chinese nationals could trigger concerns within the Trump administration and Congress.
