CRLSelector

  • CRLSelector defines criteria for selecting Certificate Revocation Lists (CRLs) from a CertStore.

  • It's implemented by classes like X509CRLSelector for specific CRL types (e.g., X509CRLs).

  • The match method determines if a given CRL meets the selection criteria.

  • Methods are not inherently thread-safe, requiring manual synchronization for concurrent access by multiple threads.
public interface CRLSelector implements Cloneable
Known Indirect Subclasses

A selector that defines a set of criteria for selecting CRLs. Classes that implement this interface are often used to specify which CRLs should be retrieved from a CertStore.

Concurrent Access

Unless otherwise specified, the methods defined in this interface are not thread-safe. Multiple threads that need to access a single object concurrently should synchronize amongst themselves and provide the necessary locking. Multiple threads each manipulating separate objects need not synchronize.
