Starting in Android 4.0 IceCreamSandwich, an app can use
android.security.KeyChain to request a centrally installed client
certificate:
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/security/KeyChain.html Before
4.0, the installed client certificates were only usable for VPN and WiFi
authentication, not apps. Of course, in any Android release you can use
the java.security.KeyStore API to read a PKCS#12 keystore from the file
system. however, if one app can read it from the file system, presumably
others can as well, not sure you want to trust a password on the PKCS#12
file to protect it.
