Passwords in csr create and csr update needs possibility to be encrypted

Below is a sample of the properties that need to be in the csr.properties file when using the GenCSR script in Sterling B2B Integrator

provider=IBMJCE

keystoretype=SCIKS

certificate.request.Name=TestSystemCert11

algorithm=RSA

signature.algorithm=sha256withRSA

key.length=2048

add.trusted=true

ca.cert.file=TestSystermCert11.pem

csr.file=TestSystemCert11.csr

store.password=password

key.password=password

CN=XiaoTest11

O=Syncsort

OU=Corporate

L=London

ST=England

The password fields in these property files cannot be obscured/encrypted, it will give an error when running the GenCSR script.

The enhancement is to add the ability to encrypt these passwords for security reasons.

What is your industry? Banking
How will this idea be used?

To improve security around encryption/signing of files.
