Interface CRLTestlet

All Superinterfaces:

ExtensionTestlet

All Known Implementing Classes:

AuthorityKeyIdentifierCRLTestlet, IssuingDistributionPointCRLTestlet, NullCRLTestlet

public interface CRLTestlet
extends ExtensionTestlet

CRLTestlet is the interface that every CRL extension testlet must implement.

The ExtensionTester first calls every testlet's init() method followed by the notify() method for each testlet whose extension is found in the CRL. The ExtensionTester then calls every testlet's validate() and reset methods.

The dataContainer passed to every method can be used to store data that the CRL extension testlet use to validate the CRL.

Method Summary
