CertificateFactorySpi This class defines the Service Provider Interface (SPI) for the CertificateFactory class. 
CertPath An immutable sequence of certificates (a certification path). 
CertPath.CertPathRep Alternate CertPath class for serialization.

CertPathValidatorSpi The Service Provider Interface (SPI) for the CertPathValidator class. 
CertStore A class for retrieving Certificates and CRLs from a repository. 
CertStoreSpi The Service Provider Interface (SPI) for the CertStore class. 
CollectionCertStoreParameters Parameters used as input for the Collection CertStore algorithm. 
CRL This class is an abstraction of certificate revocation lists (CRLs) that have different formats but important common uses.

PKIXBuilderParameters Parameters used as input for the PKIX CertPathBuilder algorithm. 
PKIXCertPathBuilderResult This class represents the successful result of the PKIX certification path builder algorithm.

PKIXCertPathValidatorResult This class represents the successful result of the PKIX certification path validation algorithm. 
PKIXParameters Parameters used as input for the PKIX CertPathValidator algorithm.

X509Certificate

Abstract class for X.509 certificates. 

X509CertSelector A CertSelector that selects X509Certificates that match all specified criteria. 
X509CRL

Abstract class for an X.509 Certificate Revocation List (CRL).
