Portecle - nice tool to manage certificates, keystores, keys, etc. Instead of keytool (jdk)

I was using keytool from jdk installation always. However, when it came down to bouncycastle implementation, too much work should be done to make it running - download a crypto provider, install it, etc. That's the description: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4065379/how-to-create-a-bks-bouncycastle-format-java-keystore-that-contains-a-client-c

As Android uses bouncycastle by default, had to pack a public key of the RSA pair to the BKS store to make a resilient HttpsUrlConnection.

Found it very nice and handy to use http://portecle.sourceforge.net/ as a GUI tool.

Works flawlessly, recommended
