    Subject: public/private key

It is possible to store instances of PublicKey/PrivateKey in files
since these interfaces are serializable. But when I read these objects again
from the file, using readObject method of ObjectInputStream and then
typecasting the object returned to public/private key, then I get a Cast
exception.
Is it possible to store public/private keys into persistent storage
and then retrieve it again.
