Remarks

A class for building certification paths (also known as certificate chains).

This class uses a provider-based architecture. To create a CertPathBuilder, call one of the static getInstance methods, passing in the algorithm name of the CertPathBuilder desired and optionally the name of the provider desired.

Once a CertPathBuilder object has been created, certification paths can be constructed by calling the #build build method and passing it an algorithm-specific set of parameters. If successful, the result (including the CertPath that was built) is returned in an object that implements the CertPathBuilderResult interface.

The #getRevocationChecker method allows an application to specify additional algorithm-specific parameters and options used by the CertPathBuilder when checking the revocation status of certificates. Here is an example demonstrating how it is used with the PKIX algorithm:

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);

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

<b>Concurrent Access</b>

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.

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 CertPathBuilder instance concurrently should synchronize amongst themselves and provide the necessary locking. Multiple threads each manipulating a different CertPathBuilder instance need not synchronize.

Constructors

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

Properties

Algorithm	Returns the name of the algorithm of this `CertPathBuilder`.
Class	Returns the runtime class of this `Object`. (Inherited from Object)
DefaultType	Returns the default `CertPathBuilder` type as specified by the `certpathbuilder.type` security property, or the string "PKIX" 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 `CertPathBuilder`.
RevocationChecker	Returns a `CertPathChecker` that the encapsulated `CertPathBuilderSpi` implementation uses to check the revocation status of certificates.
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.
