Name
Class java.security.cert.Certificate
Synopsis
This class represents any type of cryptographic certificate. A
certificate contains a public key (see getPublicKey( )
) and other associated information. The certificate
contains an internal signature that protects its integrity. You can
verify the integrity of the certificate by calling one of the
verify( )
methods with the public key of the
certificate’s issuer. (Note: don’t confuse this class
with the java.security.Certificate
interface,
which is deprecated.)
