/**
 * A validator for X.509 certificates when approving certificate chains.
 *
 * <p>Concrete subclasses can be passed to the {@link
 * PKIXParameters#setCertPathCheckers(java.util.List)} and {@link
 * PKIXParameters#addCertPathChecker(java.security.cert.PKIXCertPathChecker)}
 * methods, which are then used to set up PKIX certificate chain
 * builders or validators. These classes then call the {@link
 * #check(java.security.cert.Certificate,java.util.Collection)} method
 * of this class, performing whatever checks on the certificate,
 * throwing an exception if any check fails.
 *
 * <p>Subclasses of this must be able to perform their checks in the
 * backward direction -- from the most-trusted certificate to the target
 * -- and may optionally support forward checking -- from the target to
 * the most-trusted certificate.

 * @see PKIXParameters
