This is not exactly an EJB question, though it be under the 'ejb security' umbrella. ;) I have this application I am designing and there is the server side (EJBs) generating a KeyPair (public and private keys) for the duration of the server process. The client side (possibility other EJBs components) needs the Public Key generated.

(X509Key.java:313) at
sun.security.x509.X509Key.readObject
(X509Key.java:352)
Any idea of how I can pass the public key? (As a byte[]? but that seems too primitive...)
The public key is needed to verify java.security.SignedObject types (used as authentication tokens for duration of the server process) on different tiers.
