Prior to Java 9, the default KeyStore type was Java KeyStore (JKS). The Java 9 platform now uses PKCS as the default KeyStore type, more specifically, PKCS12.
This change to PKCS provides stronger cryptographic algorithms as compared to JKS. As you would expect, JDK 9 will still be compatible with JKS to support previously developed systems.
