Class CertificateFactory


  • public class CertificateFactory
    extends java.security.cert.CertificateFactorySpi
    class for dealing with X509 certificates.

    At the moment this will deal with "-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----" to "-----END CERTIFICATE-----" base 64 encoded certs, as well as the BER binaries of certificates and some classes of PKCS#7 objects.

                                                throws java.security.cert.CRLException
        Returns a (possibly empty) collection view of the CRLs read from the given input stream inStream. The inStream may contain a sequence of DER-encoded CRLs, or a PKCS#7 CRL set. This is a PKCS#7 SignedData object, with the only signficant field being crls. In particular the signature and the contents are ignored.
