All Superinterfaces:
Serializable
All Known Implementing Classes:
CAdESCertificateSource, CMSCertificateSource, CommonCertificateSource, CommonTrustedCertificateSource, KeyStoreCertificateSource, PAdESCertificateSource, SignatureCertificateSource, TimestampCertificateSource, TrustedListsCertificateSource, XAdESCertificateSource
public interface CertificateSource
extends Serializable
The validation of a certificate requires to access some other certificates from multiple sources (Trusted List, Trust Store, the signature itself). This interface provides an abstraction for accessing a certificate, regardless of the source.

  • Method Details

    • addCertificate

      CertificateToken addCertificate​(CertificateToken certificate)
      This method allows to manually add any certificate to the source. The type of the source is automatically set par each specific implementation.
      Parameters:
      certificate - the certificate you have to trust
      Returns:
      the corresponding certificate token

    • getCertificateSourceType

      CertificateSourceType getCertificateSourceType()
      This method returns the certificate source type associated to the implementation class.
      Returns:
      the certificate origin

    • getCertificates

      List<CertificateToken> getCertificates()
      Retrieves the unmodifiable list of all certificate tokens from this source.
      Returns:
      all certificates from this source

    • isTrusted

      boolean isTrusted​(CertificateToken certificateToken)
      This method checks if a given certificate is trusted
      Parameters:
      certificateToken - the certificate to be tested
      Returns:
      true if the certificate is trusted
