Interface PolicyNode

All Known Implementing Classes:
PKIXPolicyNode
public interface PolicyNode
The interface to a valid policy tree node for the PKIX certification path validation algorithm.

Instances of this class are one of the outputs of the PKIX certification path validation algorithm.

      the depth of this node in the policy tree.

    • getExpectedPolicies

      Set<String> getExpectedPolicies()
      Returns the expected policies for the next certificate to be valid.
      Returns:
      the expected policies.

    • getParent

      PolicyNode getParent()
      Returns the parent policy node.
      Returns:
      the parent policy node.

    • getPolicyQualifiers

      Set<? extends PolicyQualifierInfo> getPolicyQualifiers()
      Returns the policy qualifiers associated with the policy of this node.
      Returns:
      the policy qualifiers associated with the policy of this node.

    • getValidPolicy

      String getValidPolicy()
      Returns the valid policy of this node.
      Returns:
      the valid policy of this node.

    • isCritical

      boolean isCritical()
      Returns whether the certificate policy extension of the most recently processed certificate is marked as critical.
      Returns:
      true if the extension is marked as critical, otherwise false.
