Package javax.security.cert Description
Provides classes for public key certificates.These classes include a simplified version of the java.security.cert package. These classes were developed as part of the Java Secure Socket Extension (JSSE). When JSSE was added to the Java 2 SDK, this package was added for backward-compatibility reasons only.
New applications should not use this package, but rather java.security.cert.
