Pre-requisite: Make sure that we have keytool installed in our system.

Generating a Java Keystore (JKS)

To generate a JKS, we need to run the below command.

keytool -genkey -v -keystore <path\to\name-of-the-keystore.jks> -alias <ALIAS-NAME> -keyalg <PUBLIC-KEY-ALGORITHM> -keysize <SIZE> -validity <NUMBER-OF-DAYS>

For example:

keytool -genkey -v -keystore example.jks -alias GFG_ALIAS -keyalg RSA -keysize 2048 -validity 10000

When we hit enter, we need to answer a few questions.
