Name

CertPathParameters

Synopsis

CertPathParamters is a marker interface for objects that hold parameters (such as the set of trust anchors) for validating or building a certification path with CertPathValidator and CertPathBuilder. It defines no methods of its own, but requires that all implementations include a working clone( ) method. You must use an algorithm-specific implementation of this interface, such as PKIXParameters or PKIXBuilderParameters when validating or building a CertPath, and it is rarely useful to work with this interface directly.
