40/**
41 * A class for validating certification paths (also known as certificate
42 * chains).
43 * <p>
44 * This class uses a provider-based architecture.
45 * To create a {@code CertPathValidator},
46 * call one of the static {@code getInstance} methods, passing in the
47 * algorithm name of the {@code CertPathValidator} desired and
48 * optionally the name of the provider desired.
49 *
50 * <p>Once a {@code CertPathValidator} object has been created, it can
51 * be used to validate certification paths by calling the {@link #validate
52 * validate} method and passing it the {@code CertPath} to be validated
53 * and an algorithm-specific set of parameters. If successful, the result is
54 * returned in an object that implements the
55 * {@code CertPathValidatorResult} interface.
56 *
57 * <p>The {@link #getRevocationChecker} method allows an application to specify
58 * additional algorithm-specific parameters and options used by the
59 * {@code CertPathValidator} when checking the revocation status of
60 * certificates. Here is an example demonstrating how it is used with the PKIX
61 * algorithm:
62 *
63 * <pre>
64 * CertPathValidator cpv = CertPathValidator.getInstance("PKIX");
65 * PKIXRevocationChecker rc = (PKIXRevocationChecker)cpv.getRevocationChecker();
66 * rc.setOptions(EnumSet.of(Option.SOFT_FAIL));
67 * params.addCertPathChecker(rc);
68 * CertPathValidatorResult cpvr = cpv.validate(path, params);
69 * </pre>
70 *
71 * <p>Every implementation of the Java platform is required to support the
72 * following standard {@code CertPathValidator} algorithm:
73 * <ul>
74 * <li>{@code PKIX}</li>
75 * </ul>
76 * This algorithm is described in the <a href=
77 * "{@docRoot}/../technotes/guides/security/StandardNames.html#CertPathValidator">
78 * CertPathValidator section</a> of the
79 * Java Cryptography Architecture Standard Algorithm Name Documentation.
80 * Consult the release documentation for your implementation to see if any
81 * other algorithms are supported.
82 *
83 * <p>
84 * <b>Concurrent Access</b>
85 * <p>
86 * The static methods of this class are guaranteed to be thread-safe.
87 * Multiple threads may concurrently invoke the static methods defined in
88 * this class with no ill effects.
89 * <p>
90 * However, this is not true for the non-static methods defined by this class.
91 * Unless otherwise documented by a specific provider, threads that need to
92 * access a single {@code CertPathValidator} instance concurrently should
93 * synchronize amongst themselves and provide the necessary locking. Multiple
94 * threads each manipulating a different {@code CertPathValidator}
95 * instance need not synchronize.
96 *
