/**
 * A class for validating certification paths (also known as certificate
 * chains).
 * <p>
 * This class uses a provider-based architecture.
 * To create a {@code CertPathValidator},
 * call one of the static {@code getInstance} methods, passing in the
 * algorithm name of the {@code CertPathValidator} desired and
 * optionally the name of the provider desired.
 *
 * <p>Once a {@code CertPathValidator} object has been created, it can
 * be used to validate certification paths by calling the {@link #validate
 * validate} method and passing it the {@code CertPath} to be validated
 * and an algorithm-specific set of parameters. If successful, the result is
 * returned in an object that implements the
 * {@code CertPathValidatorResult} interface.
 *
 * <p>The {@link #getRevocationChecker} method allows an application to specify
 * additional algorithm-specific parameters and options used by the
 * {@code CertPathValidator} when checking the revocation status of
 * certificates. Here is an example demonstrating how it is used with the PKIX
 * algorithm:
 *
 * <pre>
 * CertPathValidator cpv = CertPathValidator.getInstance("PKIX");
 * PKIXRevocationChecker rc = (PKIXRevocationChecker)cpv.getRevocationChecker();
 * rc.setOptions(EnumSet.of(Option.SOFT_FAIL));
 * params.addCertPathChecker(rc);
 * CertPathValidatorResult cpvr = cpv.validate(path, params);
 * </pre>
 *
 * <p>Every implementation of the Java platform is required to support the
 * following standard {@code CertPathValidator} algorithm:
 * <ul>
 * <li>{@code PKIX}</li>
 * </ul>
 * This algorithm is described in the <a href=
 * "{@docRoot}/../specs/security/standard-names.html#certpathvalidator-algorithms">
 * CertPathValidator section</a> of the
 * Java Security Standard Algorithm Names Specification.
 * Consult the release documentation for your implementation to see if any
 * other algorithms are supported.
 *
 * <p>
 * <b>Concurrent Access</b>
 * <p>
 * The static methods of this class are guaranteed to be thread-safe.
 * Multiple threads may concurrently invoke the static methods defined in
 * this class with no ill effects.
 * <p>
 * However, this is not true for the non-static methods defined by this class.
 * Unless otherwise documented by a specific provider, threads that need to
 * access a single {@code CertPathValidator} instance concurrently should
 * synchronize amongst themselves and provide the necessary locking. Multiple
 * threads each manipulating a different {@code CertPathValidator}
 * instance need not synchronize.
