PolicyNode

java.security.cert.PolicyNode

Class Overview

The interface to a valid policy tree node for the PKIX certification path validation algorithm.

Instances of this class are one of the outputs of the PKIX certification path validation algorithm.

Summary

Returns the list of children of this node as an Iterator.
abstract int getDepth()
Returns the depth of this node in the policy tree.
abstract Set<String> getExpectedPolicies()
Returns the expected policies for the next certificate to be valid.
abstract PolicyNode getParent()
Returns the parent policy node.
abstract Set<? extends PolicyQualifierInfo> getPolicyQualifiers()
Returns the policy qualifiers associated with the policy of this node.
abstract String getValidPolicy()
Returns the valid policy of this node.
abstract boolean isCritical()
Returns whether the certificate policy extension of the most recently processed certificate is marked as critical.
