Inside the keystore there's the private key, which is very critical to you and not computable from the public key (inside the certificate). Also, you need to revoke this new certificate, especially if the keystore is lost and in the hand of someone else, Back to top stilllearning Guest Posted: Thu Apr 12, 2007 10:58 pm    Post subject: Re: Lost keystore but have cert signing request and response On Apr 12, 1:24 am, "sgoo" <speedo...@gmail.com> wrote: Quote: On Apr 11, 11:08 pm, "stilllearning" <shahs...@yahoo.com> wrote: I have a certificate signing request file and a signed certificate response from Verisign.

I was under the impression that the CSR contains the private key also. In any case, I resolved the issue. I did have a keystore but I was not able to import Verisign's response, so I thought the keystore is corrupt. But it turns out that I had not put in the intermediate and root Verisign CA certs in the keystore before importing the certificate. Once I put in the two CA certs, I was able to import the Verisign response certificate.
