31 /**
32  * The <i>Service Provider Interface</i> (<b>SPI</b>)
33  * for the {@link CertStore CertStore} class. All <code>CertStore</code>
34  * implementations must include a class (the SPI class) that extends
35  * this class (<code>CertStoreSpi</code>), provides a constructor with
36  * a single argument of type <code>CertStoreParameters</code>, and implements
37  * all of its methods. In general, instances of this class should only be
38  * accessed through the <code>CertStore</code> class.
39  * For details, see the Java Cryptography Architecture.
40  * <p>
41  * <b>Concurrent Access</b>
42  * <p>
43  * The public methods of all <code>CertStoreSpi</code> objects must be
44  * thread-safe. That is, multiple threads may concurrently invoke these
45  * methods on a single <code>CertStoreSpi</code> object (or more than one)
46  * with no ill effects. This allows a <code>CertPathBuilder</code> to search
47  * for a CRL while simultaneously searching for further certificates, for
48  * instance.
49  * <p>
50  * Simple <code>CertStoreSpi</code> implementations will probably ensure
51  * thread safety by adding a <code>synchronized</code> keyword to their
52  * <code>engineGetCertificates</code> and <code>engineGetCRLs</code> methods.
53  * More sophisticated ones may allow truly concurrent access.
