PKIXBuilderParameters

extends PKIXParameters

java.lang.Object
↳	java.security.cert.PKIXParameters
	↳	java.security.cert.PKIXBuilderParameters

Class Overview

The parameter specification for a PKIX CertPathBuilder algorithm used to build certificate chains validated with the PKIX certification path validation.

The parameters must be created with trusted certificate authorities and constraints for the target certificates.
