* A PKIX CertPathBuilder uses these parameters to {@link * CertPathBuilder#build build} a CertPath which has been * validated according to the PKIX certification path validation algorithm. * *

To instantiate a PKIXBuilderParameters object, an * application must specify one or more most-trusted CAs as defined by * the PKIX certification path validation algorithm. The most-trusted CA * can be specified using one of two constructors. An application * can call {@link #PKIXBuilderParameters(Set, CertSelector) * PKIXBuilderParameters(Set, CertSelector)}, specifying a * Set of TrustAnchor objects, each of which * identifies a most-trusted CA. Alternatively, an application can call * {@link #PKIXBuilderParameters(KeyStore, CertSelector) * PKIXBuilderParameters(KeyStore, CertSelector)}, specifying a * KeyStore instance containing trusted certificate entries, each * of which will be considered as a most-trusted CA. * *

In addition, an application must specify constraints on the target * certificate that the CertPathBuilder will attempt * to build a path to. The constraints are specified as a * CertSelector object. These constraints should provide the * CertPathBuilder with enough search criteria to find the target * certificate. Minimal criteria for an X509Certificate usually * include the subject name and/or one or more subject alternative names. * If enough criteria is not specified, the CertPathBuilder * may throw a CertPathBuilderException. *

* Concurrent Access *

* Unless otherwise specified, the methods defined in this class are not * thread-safe. Multiple threads that need to access a single * object concurrently should synchronize amongst themselves and * provide the necessary locking. Multiple threads each manipulating * separate objects need not synchronize. * * @see CertPathBuilder * * @version 1.15 12/19/03 * @since 1.4 * @author Sean Mullan */ public class PKIXBuilderParameters extends PKIXParameters { private int maxPathLength = 5; /** * Creates an instance of PKIXBuilderParameters with * the specified Set of most-trusted CAs. * Each element of the set is a {@link TrustAnchor TrustAnchor}. * *
