Can we use KeyStore to store sensitive data

Question

This is in addition to my previous question answered by Makoto object or container used to store sensitive information

After reading some articles, I see that in Java we can use KeyStore to store web certificates, but can I use this object to store application-specific data for example Bank details, Credit card information, etc? I have not seen any examples in this regard.

No. You can only store keys and certificates in a keystore.

Thank you, is there any other object in Java which is designed to store sensitive information. – learner Jan 14 '18 at 06:33

There is `SealedObject`, which you can serialize if your data is `Serializable`. – user207421 Jan 14 '18 at 07:18
You can use anything to store sensitive data as long as data is encrypted and you are the only one who has access to the key. – Oleg Sklyar Apr 08 '18 at 17:26
