Hello, there's no Android version of KSE but you can use different alternatives:

• Import certificates to your Android system keystore (no lock PIN needed): CAdroid (Older for Android 4.0.x) Root Certificate Manager (Newer for Android 4.2+)

• Move Android's existing User certificates to the System keystore: Move Certs! (Android 4.4+)

• Advanced PKCS & PEM certificate management: Dory Cert (Android 5.0+) x509 Certificate Keystore Generator (Android 4.1+)

• Alternative for OpenSSL TLS connection testing: SSL Toolkit (Android 4.1+)

• Read native Java keystores (JKS, BKS etc) & export to PEM: KeyStore Explorer (Android 5.0+) Ken Ellinwood's ZipSigner (Android 1.5+)

The ZipSigner application on the Play Store with the same icon looks like a clone of the original ZipSigner above, and the KeyStore Explorer app has the same name but is unrelated to KSE.

@gdmeunier Thank you for answering this much better than I could have done it!

@DI555 KSE might look like a small application, but its feature set and codebase have grown over almost twenty years. Porting it to Android is not a small task and would take quite a long time. Also there would probably be way less than 50% common code, which basically means twice the effort to maintain both versions. Therefore the chances of that happening are very slim. But at least there a couple of alternatives on Android - even one with the same name. :wink:
