This package provides all the classes and all the interfaces needed to generate, administer and verify
X.509 certificates.
Functionality for parsing certificate, extracting information from them, validating and
verifying the information they contains are provided.
Exception are generated mainly for three reasons:
- if the certificate's encoding is broken
(CertificateEncodingException)
- if the certificate's time stamp is not valid
(CertificateExpiredException)
- or if the validation's path is false (CertPathValidatorException).
The functionality to check the different entries and extension fields of X.509 certificates are also provided.
| CertPathBuilderResult | The interface for results generated by
build(CertPathParameters). |
| CertPathParameters | The interface specification for certification path algorithm parameters. |
| CertPathValidatorResult | The interface specification for certification path validation results. |
| CertSelector | The interface specification to determine whether a Certificate meets some criteria. |
| CertStoreParameters | The marker interface specifying the parameters used to initialize a CertStore instance. |
| CRLSelector | The interface specification for determining whether a CRL meets some criteria
to select CRL objects among a set of CRLs. |
| PolicyNode | The interface to a valid policy tree node for the PKIX certification path validation algorithm. |
| X509Extension | The interface specifying an X.509 Certificate or CRL extension. |
| Certificate | Abstract class to represent identity certificates. |
| Certificate.CertificateRep | The alternate Serializable class to be used for serialization and
deserialization of Certificate objects. |
| CertificateFactory | This class implements the functionality of a certificate factory algorithm, relying on parsing a stream of bytes. |
| CertificateFactorySpi | This class defines the Service Provider Interface (SPI) for the
CertificateFactory class. |
| CertPath | An immutable certificate path that can be validated. |
| CertPath.CertPathRep | The alternate Serializable class to be used for serialization and
deserialization on CertPath objects. |
| CertPathBuilder | This class implements the functionality of a builder for an unverified Certification Paths from a specified certificate to a trust anchor. |
| CertPathBuilderSpi | The Service Provider Interface (SPI) for the CertPathBuilder class to be implemented by security providers. |
| CertPathValidator | This class provides the functionality for validating certification paths (certificate chains) establishing a trust chain from a certificate to a trust anchor. |
| CertPathValidatorSpi | The Service Provider Interface (SPI) for the CertPathValidator class to be implemented by security providers. |
| CertStore | This class provides the functionality to retrieve Certificates and
CRLs from a read-only repository. |
| CertStoreSpi | The Service Provider Interface (SPI) definition for the CertStore class to be implemented by security providers. |
| CollectionCertStoreParameters | The parameters to initialize a Collection type CertStore instance. |
| CRL | This class represents Certificate Revocation Lists (CRLs) maintained by a certificate authority. |
| LDAPCertStoreParameters | The parameters to initialize a LDAP CertStore instance. |
| PKIXBuilderParameters | The parameter specification for a PKIX CertPathBuilder
algorithm used to build
certificate chains validated with the PKIX certification path validation. |
| PKIXCertPathBuilderResult | The result of the PKIX certification path builder, returned by
build(CertPathParameters). |
| PKIXCertPathChecker | The class specifying the interface to extend the certification path
validation algorithm by checks to perform on an X509Certificate. |
| PKIXCertPathValidatorResult | The implementation of the result of the PKIX certification path validation. |
| PKIXParameters | This class implements the parameters for the PKIX CertPathValidator. |
| PolicyQualifierInfo | This class implements a policy qualifier as defined by the ASN.1
PolicyQualifierInfo structure. |
| TrustAnchor | This class represents a trust anchor for validation of X.509 certification path. |
| X509Certificate | Abstract base class for X.509 certificates. |
| X509CertSelector | A certificate selector (CertSelector for selecting X509Certificates that match the specified criteria. |

| X509CRLEntry | Abstract base class for entries in a certificate revocation list (CRL). |
| X509CRLSelector | A CRL selector (CRLSelector for selecting X509CRLs that match the specified criteria. |
| CertificateEncodingException | The exception that is thrown when an error occurs while a Certificate
is being encoded. |
| CertificateException | The base class for all Certificate related exceptions. |
| CertificateExpiredException | The exception that is thrown when a Certificate has expired. |
| CertificateNotYetValidException | The exception that is thrown when a Certificate is not yet valid or
will not yet be valid on a specified date. |
| CertificateParsingException | The exception that is thrown when a Certificate can not be parsed. |
| CertPathBuilderException | The exception that is thrown when a CertPathBuilder method fails. |
| CertPathValidatorException | The exception that is thrown when a certification path (or certificate chain) cannot be validated. |
| CertStoreException | The exception that is thrown when an access to a CertStore fails. |
| CRLException | The exception that is thrown if errors occur during handling of CRLs. |
