se.swedenconnect.sigval.cert.chain.impl.BasicPathBuilder

All Implemented Interfaces:

PathBuilder

public class BasicPathBuilder
extends Object
implements PathBuilder

Implementation of a basic path builder used to construct a certificate path from a specified target certificate to a specified set of trust anchors via a finite set of supporting intermediary CA certificates. This implementation uses standard PKIX path validation rules to construct and validate the path.

Builds the trusted path to a target certificate using the PKIX path building algorithm

Specified by:

buildPath in interface PathBuilder

Parameters:

targetCertificate - the target certificate the should be validated through this path

supportingCertificates - supporting certificates provided with the target certificate such as with the validated signature

intermediaryStore - preconfigured store of intermediary CA certificates

trustAnchors - certificates that are trusted as trust anchors in the path building process

Returns:

CertPathBuilderResult results from path building

Throws:

Exception - thrown if certificate path building fails
