Java Security, 2nd Edition

Name

Interface com.sun.net.ssl.X509KeyManager

Synopsis

Implementations of this interface are used to select the keys that an SSL socket presents during protocol negotiation. If you want to provide a custom key manager, create a class that implements this interface. Then create a KeyManagerFactorySpi class that returns instances of that class and register the factory with an appropriate security provider. Note that the certificates used with this class are java.security.cert.X509Certificate objects.
