Class CRL

java.lang.Object

java.security.cert.CRL

Direct Known Subclasses:: X509CRL

public abstract class CRL extends Object

This class is an abstraction of certificate revocation lists (CRLs) that have different formats but important common uses. For example, all CRLs share the functionality of listing revoked certificates, and can be queried on whether they list a given certificate.

Specialized CRL types can be defined by subclassing off of this abstract class.
