Class Summary
Class Description
Certificate

Abstract class for managing a variety of identity certificates.

Certificate.CertificateRep

Alternate Certificate class for serialization.

CertificateFactory

This class defines the functionality of a certificate factory, which is used to generate certificate, certification path (CertPath) and certificate revocation list (CRL) objects from their encodings.

CertificateFactorySpi

This class defines the Service Provider Interface (SPI) for the CertificateFactory class.

CertPath

An immutable sequence of certificates (a certification path).

CertPath.CertPathRep

Alternate CertPath class for serialization.

CertPathBuilder

A class for building certification paths (also known as certificate chains).

CertPathBuilderSpi

The Service Provider Interface (SPI) for the CertPathBuilder class.

CertPathValidator

A class for validating certification paths (also known as certificate chains).

CertPathValidatorSpi

The Service Provider Interface (SPI) for the CertPathValidator class.

CertStore

A class for retrieving Certificates and CRLs from a repository.

CertStoreSpi

The Service Provider Interface (SPI) for the CertStore class.

CollectionCertStoreParameters

Parameters used as input for the Collection CertStore algorithm.

CRL

This class is an abstraction of certificate revocation lists (CRLs) that have different formats but important common uses.

LDAPCertStoreParameters

Parameters used as input for the LDAP CertStore algorithm.

PKIXBuilderParameters

Parameters used as input for the PKIX CertPathBuilder algorithm.

PKIXCertPathBuilderResult

This class represents the successful result of the PKIX certification path builder algorithm.

PKIXCertPathChecker

An abstract class that performs one or more checks on an X509Certificate.

PKIXCertPathValidatorResult

This class represents the successful result of the PKIX certification path validation algorithm.

PKIXParameters

Parameters used as input for the PKIX CertPathValidator algorithm.

PKIXRevocationChecker

A PKIXCertPathChecker for checking the revocation status of certificates with the PKIX algorithm.

PolicyQualifierInfo

An immutable policy qualifier represented by the ASN.1 PolicyQualifierInfo structure.

TrustAnchor

A trust anchor or most-trusted Certification Authority (CA).

X509Certificate

Abstract class for X.509 certificates.

X509CertSelector

A CertSelector that selects X509Certificates that match all specified criteria.

X509CRL

Abstract class for an X.509 Certificate Revocation List (CRL).

X509CRLEntry

Abstract class for a revoked certificate in a CRL (Certificate Revocation List).

X509CRLSelector

A CRLSelector that selects X509CRLs that match all specified criteria.

Enum Summary
Enum Description

CRLReason

The CRLReason enumeration specifies the reason that a certificate is revoked, as defined in RFC 3280: Internet X.509 Public Key Infrastructure Certificate and CRL Profile.

PKIXReason

The PKIXReason enumerates the potential PKIX-specific reasons that an X.509 certification path may be invalid according to the PKIX (RFC 3280) standard.

PKIXRevocationChecker.Option

Various revocation options that can be specified for the revocation checking mechanism.
