CertificateFactory

The "IBMCertPath" provider for the CertificateFactory engine class has been enhanced to support generation of X.509 CertPath objects. The PKCS7 and PkiPath encodings are supported, and PkiPath is the default encoding format. The PKCS#7 implementation supports a subset of RFC 2315 (only the SignedData ContentInfo type is supported). The certificates in the CertPath are ordered in the forward direction (from target to trust anchor). Each certificate in the CertPath is of type java.security.cert.X509Certificate, and versions 1, 2 and 3 are supported.
