Class PolicyCertificate

java.lang.Object

com.entrust.toolkit.x509.policies.PolicyCertificate

All Implemented Interfaces:

ASN1Type

Direct Known Subclasses:

AttributeCertificate, EntrustPolicyCertificate

public abstract class PolicyCertificate
extends java.lang.Object
implements ASN1Type

This class abstracts the interface to a policy certificate. The toolkit uses two kinds of policy certificates at present: an EntrustPolicyCertificate comes from an Entrust PKI version 5 and an AttributeCertificate comes from an Entrust PKI version 4.

For 7.0, the idea of a user defined policy certificate was introduced so that settings could be customized, primarily for the settings that serve as inputs to certificate validation. This is not technically a policy certificate, but it allows for a uniform getAttribute set of APIs
