# Key Store
The **Key Store** is the repository containing RSA and DSA private keys, and optionally the corresponding X.509 Certificate.
By default, the system is distributed with three pre-generated private keys and corresponding X.509 self-signed certificates:
* **driver**: used for DMZ Driver - DMZ Gateway secure connection
* **sampleserverkey1**: to be used for testing purposes only, when a security-enabled server protocol is configured (e.g. SFTP, FTPS, HTTPS)
* **sampleclientkey1**: to be used for testing purposes only, when a security-enabled client protocol is configured (e.g. SFTP, FTPS, HTTPS)
The Key Store contains 3 tabs: **Keys**, **Certificates** and **Symmetric Keys**.
The **Keys** section of the **Key Store** card lists imported private keys.
These columns are available in the **Keys** tab:
* **Name**: unique name of the key
* **Size**: size of the key
* **Algorithm**: RSA, EdDSA, ECDSA
The 3 dots icon allows you to access the **Details**, **Export** and **Delete** options.
Note that DSA keys configured for the client/server SFTP protocol, cannot be longer than 1024 bits. This is due to a limitation in the implementation of the SSH protocol (rfc4253).
To search for keys in the **Keys** tab, either filter individual columns by entering all or part of the term you want to search for in the **field at the top of the column**, or use the **Filters** panel located on the right of the table. **In both methods, the search is case-sensitive**. The difference between these two approaches is the scope of the filtering. When using the first method, the system only considers the fields in a single column. In contrast, the second method applies the filter globally, affecting all fields in the table.
Refer to the [Creating a key](/data-mover-1.21/security/key-stores-and-trust-stores/key-store/creating-a-key.md) and [Importing a Key or Certificate](/data-mover-1.21/security/key-stores-and-trust-stores/key-store/importing-a-key-or-a-certificate.md) pages for the procedure that must be applied to create or import a key. Moreover, the [Examples](/data-mover-1.21/security/key-stores-and-trust-stores/key-store/examples.md) page gives you additional useful information.

When deleting a private key, remember to delete the accompanying X.509 Certificate.
{% endhint %}
The **Certificates** tab of the **Key Store** card lists the certificates of the RSA and DSA private keys.
These columns are available in the **Certificates** tab:
* **Name**: unique name assigned to the key
* **Serial Number**
* **Issuer DN** and **Subject DN**
* **Not before**: the certificate cannot be used before the date specified
* **Not after**: the certificate cannot be used after the date specified
The **Not before** and **Not after** columns can be ordered in ascending or descending mode.
The 3 dots icon allows you to access the **Details**, **Export** and **Delete** options.
To search for keys in the **Certificates** tab, either filter individual columns by entering all or part of the term you want to search for in the **field at the top of the column**, or use the **Filters** panel located on the right of the table. **In both methods, the search is case-sensitive**.

Moreover, the [Examples](/data-mover-1.21/security/key-stores-and-trust-stores/key-store/examples.md) page gives you additional useful information.
The **Symmetric Keys** tab of the **Key Store** lists all symmetric keys.
These columns are available in the **Symmetric Keys** tab:
* **Name**: unique name assigned to the symmetric key
* **ID**: ID associated to the symmetric key
* **Item type**: symmetric key is assigned by the system.
The 3 dots icon allows you to access the **Export** and **Delete** options.
To search for keys in the **Symmetric Keys** tab, either use the **field at the top of the Name column** by entering all or part of the term you want to search for, or use the **Filters** panel located on the right of the table. **In both methods, the search is case-sensitive**.
