title: Can PEM files be used for Kafka security?
body: <p>The documentation at <a href="http://kafka.apache.org/documentation/#security" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://kafka.apache.org/documentation/#security</a> describes the process of enabling security in Kafka.</p>
  
  <p>It describes the certificates to be in JKS format. Is it possible to use PEM formatted certificates with Kafka?</p>
