     36  * An immutable sequence of certificates (a certification path).
     37  * <p>
     38  * This is an abstract class that defines the methods common to all
     39  * {@code CertPath}s. Subclasses can handle different kinds of
     40  * certificates (X.509, PGP, etc.).
     41  * <p>
     42  * All {@code CertPath} objects have a type, a list of
     43  * {@code Certificate}s, and one or more supported encodings. Because the
     44  * {@code CertPath} class is immutable, a {@code CertPath} cannot
     45  * change in any externally visible way after being constructed. This
     46  * stipulation applies to all public fields and methods of this class and any
     47  * added or overridden by subclasses.
     48  * <p>
     49  * The type is a {@code String} that identifies the type of
     50  * {@code Certificate}s in the certification path. For each
     51  * certificate {@code cert} in a certification path {@code certPath},
     52  * {@code cert.getType().equals(certPath.getType())} must be
     53  * {@code true}.
     54  * <p>
     55  * The list of {@code Certificate}s is an ordered {@code List} of
     56  * zero or more {@code Certificate}s. This {@code List} and all
     57  * of the {@code Certificate}s contained in it must be immutable.
     58  * <p>
     59  * Each {@code CertPath} object must support one or more encodings
     60  * so that the object can be translated into a byte array for storage or
     61  * transmission to other parties. Preferably, these encodings should be
     62  * well-documented standards (such as PKCS#7). One of the encodings supported
     63  * by a {@code CertPath} is considered the default encoding. This
     64  * encoding is used if no encoding is explicitly requested (for the
     65  * {@link #getEncoded() getEncoded()} method, for instance).
     66  * <p>
     67  * All {@code CertPath} objects are also {@code Serializable}.
     68  * {@code CertPath} objects are resolved into an alternate
     69  * {@link CertPathRep CertPathRep} object during serialization. This allows
     70  * a {@code CertPath} object to be serialized into an equivalent
     71  * representation regardless of its underlying implementation.
     72  * <p>
     73  * {@code CertPath} objects can be created with a
     74  * {@code CertificateFactory} or they can be returned by other classes,
     75  * such as a {@code CertPathBuilder}.
     76  * <p>
     77  * By convention, X.509 {@code CertPath}s (consisting of
     78  * {@code X509Certificate}s), are ordered starting with the target
     79  * certificate and ending with a certificate issued by the trust anchor. That
     80  * is, the issuer of one certificate is the subject of the following one. The
     81  * certificate representing the {@link TrustAnchor TrustAnchor} should not be
     82  * included in the certification path. Unvalidated X.509 {@code CertPath}s
     83  * may not follow these conventions. PKIX {@code CertPathValidator}s will
     84  * detect any departure from these conventions that cause the certification
     85  * path to be invalid and throw a {@code CertPathValidatorException}.
     86  *
     87  * <p> Every implementation of the Java platform is required to support the
     88  * following standard {@code CertPath} encodings:
     89  * <ul>
     90  * <li>{@code PKCS7}</li>
     91  * <li>{@code PkiPath}</li>
     92  * </ul>
     93  * These encodings are described in the <a href=
     94  * "{@docRoot}openjdk-redirect.html?v=8&path=/technotes/guides/security/StandardNames.html#CertPathEncodings">
     95  * CertPath Encodings section</a> of the
     96  * Java Cryptography Architecture Standard Algorithm Name Documentation.
     97  * Consult the release documentation for your implementation to see if any
     98  * other encodings are supported.
     99  * <p>
    100  * <b>Concurrent Access</b>
    101  * <p>
    102  * All {@code CertPath} objects must be thread-safe. That is, multiple
    103  * threads may concurrently invoke the methods defined in this class on a
    104  * single {@code CertPath} object (or more than one) with no
    105  * ill effects. This is also true for the {@code List} returned by
    106  * {@code CertPath.getCertificates}.
    107  * <p>
    108  * Requiring {@code CertPath} objects to be immutable and thread-safe
    109  * allows them to be passed around to various pieces of code without worrying
    110  * about coordinating access.  Providing this thread-safety is
    111  * generally not difficult, since the {@code CertPath} and
    112  * {@code List} objects in question are immutable.
