/**
* A class for validating certification paths (also known as certificate
* chains).
* <p>
* This class uses a provider-based architecture.
* To create a <code>CertPathValidator</code>,
* call one of the static <code>getInstance</code> methods, passing in the
* algorithm name of the <code>CertPathValidator</code> desired and
* optionally the name of the provider desired.
* <p>
* Once a <code>CertPathValidator</code> 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</code> to be validated
* and an algorithm-specific set of parameters. If successful, the result is
* returned in an object that implements the
* <code>CertPathValidatorResult</code> interface.
* <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</code> instance concurrently should
* synchronize amongst themselves and provide the necessary locking. Multiple
* threads each manipulating a different <code>CertPathValidator</code>
* instance need not synchronize.
*
