Name
Class java.security.Identity
Description
An identity encapsulates public knowledge about an entity (that is, a person or a corporation, or anything that could hold a public key). Identities have names and may hold a public key, along with a certificate chain to validate the public key. An identity may belong to an identity scope, but this feature is optional and is not typically used.
