/**
 * A class for building certification paths (also known as certificate chains).
 * <p>
 * This class uses a provider-based architecture.
 * To create a {@code CertPathBuilder}, call
 * one of the static {@code getInstance} methods, passing in the
 * algorithm name of the {@code CertPathBuilder} desired and optionally
 * the name of the provider desired.
 *
 * <p>Once a {@code CertPathBuilder} object has been created, certification
 * paths can be constructed by calling the {@link #build build} method and
 * passing it an algorithm-specific set of parameters. If successful, the
 * result (including the {@code CertPath} that was built) is returned
 * in an object that implements the {@code CertPathBuilderResult}
 * interface.
 *
 * <p>The {@link #getRevocationChecker} method allows an application to specify
 * additional algorithm-specific parameters and options used by the
 * {@code CertPathBuilder} when checking the revocation status of certificates.
 * Here is an example demonstrating how it is used with the PKIX algorithm:
 *
 * <pre>
 * CertPathBuilder cpb = CertPathBuilder.getInstance("PKIX");
 * PKIXRevocationChecker rc = (PKIXRevocationChecker)cpb.getRevocationChecker();
 * rc.setOptions(EnumSet.of(Option.PREFER_CRLS));
 * params.addCertPathChecker(rc);
 * CertPathBuilderResult cpbr = cpb.build(params);
 * </pre>
 *
 * <p>Every implementation of the Java platform is required to support the
 * following standard {@code CertPathBuilder} algorithm:
 * <ul>
 * <li>{@code PKIX}</li>
 * </ul>
 * This algorithm is described in the <a href=
 * "{@docRoot}/../technotes/guides/security/StandardNames.html#CertPathBuilder">
 * CertPathBuilder section</a> of the
 * Java Cryptography Architecture Standard Algorithm Name Documentation.
 * Consult the release documentation for your implementation to see if any
 * other algorithms are supported.
 *
 * <p>
 * <b>Concurrent Access</b>
 * <p>
 * The static methods of this class are guaranteed to be thread-safe.
 * Multiple threads may concurrently invoke the static methods defined in
 * this class with no ill effects.
 * <p>
 * However, this is not true for the non-static methods defined by this class.
 * Unless otherwise documented by a specific provider, threads that need to
 * access a single {@code CertPathBuilder} instance concurrently should
 * synchronize amongst themselves and provide the necessary locking. Multiple
 * threads each manipulating a different {@code CertPathBuilder} instance
 * need not synchronize.
