Thus it is relatively easy to copy the contents of thiskeystore for back up and recovery, and to keep two EKM instances synchronizedfor failover. JCEKS provides password-based protection of the contents of thekeystore for security, and provides relatively good performance. File copy methodssuch as FTP may be used.Chapter 2.
