java.security.cert.Certificate

Packages that use Certificate
java.net | Provides the classes for implementing networking applications.
java.security | Provides the classes and interfaces for the security framework.
java.security.cert | Provides classes and interfaces for parsing and managing certificates.
java.util.jar | Provides classes for reading and writing the JAR (Java ARchive) file format, which is based on the standard ZIP file format with an optional manifest file.

Uses of Certificate in java.net

Methods in java.net that return Certificate
`Certificate[]` | `JarURLConnection.getCertificates()` Return the Certificate object for this connection if the URL for it points to a JAR file entry, null otherwise.

Uses of Certificate in java.security

Methods in java.security that return Certificate
`Certificate[]` | `CodeSource.getCertificates()` Returns the certificates associated with this CodeSource.
`Certificate[]` | `KeyStore.getCertificateChain(String alias)` Returns the certificate chain associated with the given alias.
`Certificate` | `KeyStore.getCertificate(String alias)` Returns the certificate associated with the given alias.
`abstract Certificate[]` | `KeyStoreSpi.engineGetCertificateChain(String alias)` Returns the certificate chain associated with the given alias.
`abstract Certificate` | `KeyStoreSpi.engineGetCertificate(String alias)` Returns the certificate associated with the given alias.

Methods in java.security with parameters of type Certificate
`void` | `KeyStore.setKeyEntry(String alias, Key key, char[] password, Certificate[] chain)` Assigns the given key to the given alias, protecting it with the given password.
`void` | `KeyStore.setKeyEntry(String alias, byte[] key, Certificate[] chain)` Assigns the given key (that has already been protected) to the given alias.
`void` | `KeyStore.setCertificateEntry(String alias, Certificate cert)` Assigns the given certificate to the given alias.
`String` | `KeyStore.getCertificateAlias(Certificate cert)` Returns the (alias) name of the first keystore entry whose certificate matches the given certificate.
`abstract void` | `KeyStoreSpi.engineSetKeyEntry(String alias, Key key, char[] password, Certificate[] chain)` Assigns the given key to the given alias, protecting it with the given password.
`abstract void` | `KeyStoreSpi.engineSetKeyEntry(String alias, byte[] key, Certificate[] chain)` Assigns the given key (that has already been protected) to the given alias.
`abstract void` | `KeyStoreSpi.engineSetCertificateEntry(String alias, Certificate cert)` Assigns the given certificate to the given alias.
`abstract String` | `KeyStoreSpi.engineGetCertificateAlias(Certificate cert)` Returns the (alias) name of the first keystore entry whose certificate matches the given certificate.
`void` | `Signature.initVerify(Certificate certificate)` Initializes this object for verification, using the public key from the given certificate.

Constructors in java.security with parameters of type Certificate
`CodeSource(URL url, Certificate[] certs)` Constructs a CodeSource and associates it with the specified location and set of certificates.
`UnresolvedPermission(String type, String name, String actions, Certificate[] certs)` Creates a new UnresolvedPermission containing the permission information needed later to actually create a Permission of the specified class, when the permission is resolved.

Uses of Certificate in java.security.cert

Subclasses of Certificate in java.security.cert
`class` | `X509Certificate` Abstract class for X.509 certificates.

Methods in java.security.cert that return Certificate
`Certificate` | `CertificateFactory.generateCertificate(InputStream inStream)` Generates a certificate object and initializes it with the data read from the input stream `inStream`.
`abstract Certificate` | `CertificateFactorySpi.engineGenerateCertificate(InputStream inStream)` Generates a certificate object and initializes it with the data read from the input stream `inStream`.

Methods in java.security.cert with parameters of type Certificate
`abstract boolean` | `CRL.isRevoked(Certificate cert)` Checks whether the given certificate is on this CRL.

Uses of Certificate in java.util.jar

Methods in java.util.jar that return Certificate
`Certificate[]` | `JarEntry.getCertificates()` Returns the `Certificate` objects for this entry, or `null` if none.
