PKIXValidationInformationResolver (OpenSAML :: Security API 4.0.1 API)

All Superinterfaces:

Resolver<PKIXValidationInformation,CriteriaSet>
```
public interface PKIXValidationInformationResolver
extends Resolver<PKIXValidationInformation,CriteriaSet>
```
A resolver which uses Criterion to resolve PKIXValidationInformation, which will typically be used by PKIX-based trust engines. Implementations must also implement resolveTrustedNames(CriteriaSet), which will return a set of trusted names associated with the entity implied by the criteria. These trusted names may be used to validate (in an application-specific manner) that an entity is trusted to wield a particular certificate.

boolean supportsTrustedNameResolution()
```
    Check whether resolution of trusted names is supported.
    
    Returns:
    
    true if the implementation supports resolution of trusted names, otherwise false
