Appendix F. Quick Reference
This appendix contains a quick-reference guide to the
classes that we have discussed in
this book. The primary focus is on classes in the core
java.security
package, as well as the packages
that come with the three security extensions:
javax.crypto
, javax.net
,
javax.security
, and
com.net.sun.ssl
. Accordingly, the classes listed
in this appendix are organized by their primary package. Of course,
there are a number of security-related classes -- such as the
various permission classes -- that do not belong to one of these
packages; these are listed in Section F.19 at the end of this appendix. Information in this appendix is
based only on Java 2, version 1.3.
A note about class names: class names appear unqualified (without
their package names). The exception to this is the various
Certificate
classes and interfaces. When
Certificate
appears without a package name, it
refers to the java.security.cert.Certificate
class. Otherwise, it will be fully-qualified (e.g.,
javax.security.cert.Certificate
). The same is
true of X509Certificate
.
The Policy
class, if unqualified, refers to the
java.security.Policy
class.
