public PKIXCertPathValidatorResult (TrustAnchor trustAnchor, PolicyNode policyTree, PublicKey subjectPublicKey)

Creates an instance of PKIXCertPathValidatorResult containing the specified parameters.

Creates an instance of PKIXCertPathValidatorResult
containing the specified parameters.
Parameters:
- trustAnchor - a TrustAnchor describing the CA that served as a trust anchor for the certification path
- policyTree - the immutable valid policy tree, or null if there are no valid policies
- subjectPublicKey - the public key of the subject
Throws:
- NullPointerException - if the subjectPublicKey or trustAnchor parameters are null

Methods

Hide/Show inherited methods

public Object clone () [Specified in CertPathValidatorResult]

Returns a copy of this object.

public PolicyNode getPolicyTree ()

Returns the root node of the valid policy tree resulting from the PKIX certification path validation algorithm.

Returns the root node of the valid policy tree resulting from the PKIX certification path validation algorithm. The PolicyNode object that is returned and any objects that it returns through public methods are immutable.

Most applications will not need to examine the valid policy tree. They can achieve their policy processing goals by setting the policy-related parameters in PKIXParameters. However, more sophisticated applications, especially those that process policy qualifiers, may need to traverse the valid policy tree using the PolicyNode.getParent and PolicyNode.getChildren methods.
Returns: the root node of the valid policy tree, or null if there are no valid policies

public PublicKey getPublicKey ()

Returns the public key of the subject (target) of the certification path, including any inherited public key parameters if applicable.

Returns the public key of the subject (target) of the certification
path, including any inherited public key parameters if applicable.
Returns: the public key of the subject (never null)

public TrustAnchor getTrustAnchor ()

Returns the TrustAnchor describing the CA that served as a trust anchor for the certification path.

Returns the TrustAnchor describing the CA that served
as a trust anchor for the certification path.
Returns: the TrustAnchor (never null)

public String toString ()

Return a printable representation of this PKIXCertPathValidatorResult.

Return a printable representation of this
PKIXCertPathValidatorResult.
Returns: a String describing the contents of this PKIXCertPathValidatorResult
