Interface PKIXValidationInformationResolver

All Superinterfaces:
Resolver<PKIXValidationInformation,CriteriaSet>
public interface PKIXValidationInformationResolver extends Resolver<PKIXValidationInformation,CriteriaSet>
A resolver which uses Criterion to resolve PKIXValidationInformation, which will typically be used by PKIX-based trust engines. Implementations must also implement resolveTrustedNames(CriteriaSet), which will return a set of trusted names associated with the entity implied by the criteria. These trusted names may be used to validate (in an application-specific manner) that an entity is trusted to wield a particular certificate.
