Sure. Three safeBag attributes require special handling by the PKCS12 keystore: friendlyName,
localKeyId and trustedKeyUsage. The friendlyName is used as the keystore entry alias, localKeyId
is used to match private keys to their associated certificates, and trustedKeyUsage, to identify
trusted certificates.

When loading a PKCS12 keystore these 3 attributes are added to the collection of entry attributes.
When storing a PKCS12 keystore these 3 attributes should be removed from the collection of
entry attributes because they are handled separately.

The fix prevents these 3 attributes from being duplicated when storing a PKCS12 keystore.
