Java in a Nutshell, 5th Edition [Electronic resources] نسخه متنی

The java.security.cert
package contains classes for working with
identity
certificates, certificate chains (also known as certification paths)
and certificate revocation lists (CRLs). It defines generic
Certificate and CRL classes and
also X509Certificate and
X509CRL classes that provide full support for
standard X.509 certificates and CRLs. The CertPath
class represents a certificate chain, and
CertPathValidator provides the ability to validate
a certificate chain. The CertificateFactory class
serves as a certificate parser, providing the ability to convert a
stream of bytes (or the base64 encoding of those bytes) into a
Certificate, a CertPath or a
CRL object. In addition to the
algorithm-independent API of CertificateFactory,
this package also defines low-level algorithm-specific classes for
working with certificate chains using the PKIX standards.

This package replaces the deprecated
java.security.Certificate interface, and it also
replaces the deprecated javax.security.cert
package used by early versions of the JAAS API before
javax.security.auth and its subpackages were added
to the core Java platform.
