The keystore file is the one which would store the details of the certificates necessary to make the protocol secured. Certificates contain the information as to who is the source from which you are receiving the application data and to authenticate whether it is the intended party or not. To make this keystore you would have to use the keytool. So open command prompt in Windows or the shell in Linux and type:

cd %JAVA_HOME%/bin on Windows
cd $JAVA_HOME/bin on Linux

...

Change the sample input according to your requirements, but both the keypass and storepass passwords should be the same. The .bin file is actually your keystore file.

    Enter keystore password:  mypassword
    What is your first and last name?
      [Unknown]:  mywebservice.myapp.mycompany.com When creating a cert for a website the first and last name will be the website url.
    What is the name of your organizational unit?
      [Unknown]:  My Unit
    What is the name of your organization?
      [Unknown]:  My Organization

    What is the name of your State or Province?
      [Unknown]:  My State
