Appendix D. The Java 2 Security API

This appendix summarizes the classes and interfaces of the java.security packages included with the Java 2 platform and classes and interfaces of the javax.crypto packages of the JCE 1.2.

The `java.security` Package

The java.security package contains 39 classes and 8 interfaces that provide the foundation for the Java Security API. It also defines 15 security-related exceptions.

Interfaces

`Certificate`

The Certificate interface has been deprecated (as of JAVA 2 SDK) and is replaced by the java.security.cert.Certificate class. In JDK 1.1, it was used to provide a common set of methods for accessing digital certificates.

`Guard`

The Guard interface defines an object that is used to guard access to another object. The checkGuard() ...
