Name

TrustManager

Synopsis

This is a marker interface to identify trust manager objects. A trust manager is responsible for examining the authentication credentials (such as a certificate chain) presented by the remote host and deciding whether to trust those credentials and accept them. A TrustManager is usually used an SSL client to decide whether the SSL server is authentic, but may also be used by an SSL server when client authentication is also required.

Use a TrustManagerFactory to obtain TrustManager objects. TrustManager objects returned by a TrustManagerFactory can always be cast to a subinterface specific to a specific type of keys. See X509TrustManager, for exmaple.

public interface TrustManager {
}
