Remarks

A class for retrieving Certificates and CRLs from a repository.

This class uses a provider-based architecture. To create a CertStore, call one of the static getInstance methods, passing in the type of CertStore desired, any applicable initialization parameters and optionally the name of the provider desired.

Once the CertStore has been created, it can be used to retrieve Certificates and CRLs by calling its #getCertificates(CertSelector selector) getCertificates and #getCRLs(CRLSelector selector) getCRLs methods.

Unlike a java.security.KeyStore KeyStore, which provides access to a cache of private keys and trusted certificates, a CertStore is designed to provide access to a potentially vast repository of untrusted certificates and CRLs. For example, an LDAP implementation of CertStore provides access to certificates and CRLs stored in one or more directories using the LDAP protocol and the schema as defined in the RFC service attribute.

Every implementation of the Java platform is required to support the following standard CertStore type: <ul> <li>Collection</li> </ul> This type is described in the CertStore section of the Java Security Standard Algorithm Names Specification. Consult the release documentation for your implementation to see if any other types are supported.

<b>Concurrent Access</b>

All public methods of CertStore objects must be thread-safe. That is, multiple threads may concurrently invoke these methods on a single CertStore object (or more than one) with no ill effects. This allows a CertPathBuilder to search for a CRL while simultaneously searching for further certificates, for instance.

The static methods of this class are also guaranteed to be thread-safe. Multiple threads may concurrently invoke the static methods defined in this class with no ill effects.

Constructors

CertStore(CertStoreSpi, Provider, String, ICertStoreParameters)	Creates a CertStore object of the given type, and encapsulates the given provider implementation (SPI object) in it.
CertStore(IntPtr, JniHandleOwnership)	A constructor used when creating managed representations of JNI objects; called by the runtime.

Properties

CertStoreParameters	Returns the parameters used to initialize this CertStore.
Class	Returns the runtime class of this Object. (Inherited from Object)
DefaultType	Returns the default CertStore type as specified by the certstore.type security property, or the string "LDAP" if no such property exists.
Handle	The handle to the underlying Android instance. (Inherited from Object)
JniIdentityHashCode	(Inherited from Object)
JniPeerMembers
PeerReference	(Inherited from Object)
Provider	Returns the provider of this CertStore.
ThresholdClass	This API supports the Mono for Android infrastructure and is not intended to be used directly from your code.
ThresholdType	This API supports the Mono for Android infrastructure and is not intended to be used directly from your code.
Type	Returns the type of this CertStore.
