Description

Interface Summary

CertPathBuilderResult	A standard interface for the result of building a certificate path.
CertPathParameters	Parameters for generating and validating certificate paths.
CertPathValidatorResult	Interface to the result of calling CertPathValidator.validate(java.security.cert.CertPath,java.security.cert.CertPathParameters).
CertSelector
CertStoreParameters	Parameters used when creating instances of CertStore.
CRLSelector	A generic interface to classes that match certificate revocation lists (CRLs) to some given criteria.
PolicyNode
X509Extension	Public interface for the X.509 Extension.

Class Summary

Certificate	The Certificate class is an abstract class used to manage identity certificates.
Certificate.CertificateRep	Certificate.CertificateRep is an inner class used to provide an alternate storage mechanism for serialized Certificates.
CertificateFactory	This class implements the CertificateFactory class interface used to generate certificates, certificate revocation lists (CRLs), and certificate paths objects from their encoded forms.
CertificateFactorySpi	CertificateFactorySpi is the abstract class Service Provider Interface (SPI) for the CertificateFactory class.
CertPath	This class represents an immutable sequence, or path, of security certificates.
CertPath.CertPathRep	The serialized representation of a path.
CertPathBuilder	This class builds certificate paths (also called certificate chains), which can be used to establish trust for a particular certificate by building a path from a trusted certificate (a trust anchor) to the untrusted certificate.
CertPathBuilderSpi	The CertPathBuilder Service Provider Interface (SPI).
CertPathValidator	Generic interface to classes that validate certificate paths.
CertPathValidatorSpi	The service provider interface (SPI) for the CertPathValidator class.
CertStore	A CertStore is a read-only repository for certificates and certificate revocation lists.
CertStoreSpi	The service provider interface (SPI) for the CertStore class.
CollectionCertStoreParameters	An implementation of CertStoreParameters with a simple, in-memory Collection of certificates and certificate revocation list.
CRL	Certificate Revocation List class for managing CRLs that have different formats but the same general use.
LDAPCertStoreParameters	Parameters for CertStores that are retrieved via the lightweight directory access protocol (LDAP).
PKIXBuilderParameters	Parameters for building certificate paths using the PKIX algorithm.
PKIXCertPathBuilderResult	The result of calling the CertPathBuilder.build(java.security.cert.CertPathParameters) method of PKIX CertPathBuilders.
PKIXCertPathChecker	A validator for X.509 certificates when approving certificate chains.
PKIXCertPathValidatorResult	Results returned by the CertPathValidator.validate(java.security.cert.CertPath,java.security.cert.CertPathParameters) method for PKIX CertPathValidators.
PKIXParameters	Parameters for verifying certificate paths using the PKIX (Public-Key Infrastructure (X.509)) algorithm.
PolicyQualifierInfo	The PolicyQualifierInfo X.509 certificate extension.
TrustAnchor	An ultimately-trusted certificate to serve as the root of a certificate chain.
X509Certificate	X509Certificate is the abstract class for X.509 certificates.
X509CertSelector	A concrete implementation of CertSelector for X.509 certificates, which allows a number of criteria to be set when accepting certificates, from validity dates, to issuer and subject distinguished names, to some of the various X.509 extensions.
X509CRL	The X509CRL class is the abstract class used to manage X.509 Certificate Revocation Lists.
X509CRLEntry	Abstract class for entries in the CRL (Certificate Revocation List).
X509CRLSelector	A class for matching X.509 certificate revocation lists by criteria.

Exception Summary

CertificateEncodingException	Exception for a Certificate Encoding.
CertificateException	Exception for a Certificate.
CertificateExpiredException	Exception for a Certificate Expiring.
CertificateNotYetValidException	Exception for a Certificate that is not yet valid.
CertificateParsingException	Exception for parsing a DER-encoded Certificate.
CertPathBuilderException	Indicates a problem while using a CertPathBuilder, wrapping the lower exception.
CertPathValidatorException	Indicates a problem while validating a certification path.
CertStoreException	Indicates a problem while retrieving certificates and CRLs from CertStore, wrapping the lower exception.
CRLException	Exception for a Certificate Revocation List.
