Package java.security.cert

package java.security.cert
Provides classes and interfaces for parsing and managing certificates, certificate revocation lists (CRLs), and certification paths. It contains support for X.509 v3 certificates and X.509 v2 CRLs.

Package Specification

For information about X.509 certificates and CRLs, please see:

CertPath.CertPathRep
Alternate CertPath class for serialization.
CertPathBuilder
A class for building certification paths (also known as certificate chains).
CertPathBuilderException
An exception indicating one of a variety of problems encountered when building a certification path with a CertPathBuilder.

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.
CRLException
CRL (Certificate Revocation List) Exception.
CRLReason
