class for serialization.CertPathBuilder A class for building certification paths (also known as certificate chains).CertPathBuilderSpi The Service Provider Interface (SPI) for theCertPathBuilder
class.CertPathValidator A class for validating certification paths (also known as certificate chains).CertPathValidatorSpi The Service Provider Interface (SPI) for theCertPathValidator
class.CertStore A class for retrievingCertificate
s andCRL
s from a repository.CertStoreSpi The Service Provider Interface (SPI) for theCertStore
class.CollectionCertStoreParameters Parameters used as input for the CollectionCertStore
