Known indirect subclasses

This class is the base interface for hostname verification.
During handshaking, the
verification mechanism can call back to implementers of this
interface to determine if this connection should be allowed.
For more information of the use of this interface on Android, see
HttpsURLConnection.setDefaultHostnameVerifier(HostnameVerifier).
The policies can be certificate-based
or may depend on other authentication schemes.
