Java Security, 2nd Edition

Name

Class java.security.cert.X509Certificate

Synopsis

This class represents certificates as defined in the X.509 standard. Such certificates associate a public key with a subject, which is usually a person or organization. You can find out the certificate’s subject by calling getSubjectDN( ) while you can retrieve the subject’s public key using getPublicKey( ). The certificate’s issuer is the person or organization that generated and signed the certificate (see getIssuerDN( )). If you have a certificate file in the format described by RFC 1421, you can create an X509Certificate from that data by using one of the getInstance( ) methods.
