A TrustEngine is used to establish the authenticity of a Certificate chain.

Clients may implement this interface.

Since:3.4
/** * A <code>TrustEngine</code> is used to establish the authenticity of a * {@link Certificate} chain. * <p> * Clients may implement this interface. * </p> * @since 3.4 */
public abstract class TrustEngine {
Returns the certificate trust anchor contained in the specified chain which was used to establish the authenticity of the chain. If no trust anchor is found in the chain then null is returned.
Params:
  • chain – - a complete or incomplete certificate chain, implementations *MAY* complete chains
Throws:
  • IOException – if there is a problem connecting to the backing store
Returns:- the certificate trust anchor used to establish authenticity

Add a trust anchor point to this trust engine. A trust anchor implies that a certificate, and any of its children, is to be considered trusted. If null is used as the alias then an alias will be generated based on the trust anchor certificate.
Params:
  • anchor – - the certificate to add as an anchor point
  • alias – - a unique and human-readable 'friendly name' which can be used to reference the certificate. A null value may be used.
Throws:
Returns:the alias used to store the entry
