public class KeyChain extends Object
KeyChain is a class that implements the "KeyChain" concept. Fundamentally, it allows you to store multiple keys/credentials in a central password store. Access to this central store is controlled through a master password. This mechanism is used in many popular client applications where you need to store credentials for multiple servers/accounts. The actual store for the KeyStore can be any OutputStream and it can work in the webstart sandbox using Muffins.To contstruct a KeyChain, you need to pass in an InputStream to the store and it will initialize the KeyStore from the InputStream. You can add and remove entries any time once you have an instance of KeyChain. To persist the KeyChain and reflect any changes, you need to call store method with an OutputStream.
