public final class X509V1CertPath

extends Provider

This class implements certification path building and verifying methods that do not use any X.509 v3 certificate extensions. That is, the algorithm only uses the subject name and the issuer name of a certificate to build a certification path.

Fine-tune the path processing context by modifying the pathOptions attribute of the CertPathCtx object that is provided to each SPI method.
