CertPathChecker
interface CertPathChecker
java.security.cert.CertPathChecker |
Performs one or more checks on each Certificate
of a CertPath
.
A CertPathChecker
implementation is typically created to extend a certification path validation algorithm. For example, an implementation may check for and process a critical private extension of each certificate in a certification path.
Summary
Public methods | |
---|---|
abstract Unit |
check(cert: Certificate!) Performs the check(s) on the specified certificate using its internal state. |
abstract Unit |
Initializes the internal state of this |
abstract Boolean |
Indicates if forward checking is supported. |
Public methods
check
abstract fun check(cert: Certificate!): Unit
Performs the check(s) on the specified certificate using its internal state. The certificates are presented in the order specified by the init
method.
Parameters | |
---|---|
cert |
Certificate!: the Certificate to be checked |
Exceptions | |
---|---|
java.security.cert.CertPathValidatorException |
if the specified certificate does not pass the check |
init
abstract fun init(forward: Boolean): Unit
Initializes the internal state of this CertPathChecker
.
The forward
flag specifies the order that certificates will be passed to the check
method (forward or reverse).
Parameters | |
---|---|
forward |
Boolean: the order that certificates are presented to the check method. If true , certificates are presented from target to trust anchor (forward); if false , from trust anchor to target (reverse). |
Exceptions | |
---|---|
java.security.cert.CertPathValidatorException |
if this CertPathChecker is unable to check certificates in the specified order |
isForwardCheckingSupported
abstract fun isForwardCheckingSupported(): Boolean
Indicates if forward checking is supported. Forward checking refers to the ability of the CertPathChecker
to perform its checks when certificates are presented to the check
method in the forward direction (from target to trust anchor).
Return | |
---|---|
Boolean |
true if forward checking is supported, false otherwise |
