This class defines the Service Provider Interface (SPI) for the CertificateFactory class. All the abstract methods in this class must be implemented by each cryptographic service provider who wishes to supply the implementation of a certificate factory for a particular certificate type, e.g., X.509.
Certificate factories are used to generate certificate, certification path (CertPath) and certificate revocation list (CRL) objects from their encodings.
A certificate factory for X.509 must return certificates that are an instance of java.security.cert.X509Certificate, and CRLs that are an instance of java.security.cert.X509CRL.

(engine-generate-cert-path this in-stream)
(engine-generate-cert-path this in-stream encoding)
Generates a CertPath object and initializes it with the data read from the InputStream inStream. The data is assumed to be in the specified encoding.
This method was added to version 1.4 of the Java 2 Platform Standard Edition. In order to maintain backwards compatibility with existing service providers, this method cannot be abstract and by default throws an UnsupportedOperationException.
in-stream - an InputStream containing the data - java.io.InputStream
encoding - the encoding used for the data - java.lang.String
returns: a CertPath initialized with the data from the
InputStream - java.security.cert.CertPath
throws: java.security.cert.CertificateException - if an exception occurs while decoding or the encoding requested is not supported

This method was added to version 1.4 of the Java 2 Platform Standard Edition. In order to maintain backwards compatibility with existing service providers, this method cannot be abstract and by default throws an UnsupportedOperationException. in-stream - an InputStream containing the data - `java.io.InputStream` encoding - the encoding used for the data - `java.lang.String` returns: a CertPath initialized with the data from the InputStream - `java.security.cert.CertPath` throws: java.security.cert.CertificateException - if an exception occurs while decoding or the encoding requested is not supported
(engine-generate-certificate this in-stream)
Generates a certificate object and initializes it with the data read from the input stream inStream.
In order to take advantage of the specialized certificate format supported by this certificate factory, the returned certificate object can be typecast to the corresponding certificate class. For example, if this certificate factory implements X.509 certificates, the returned certificate object can be typecast to the X509Certificate class.
In the case of a certificate factory for X.509 certificates, the certificate provided in inStream must be DER-encoded and may be supplied in binary or printable (Base64) encoding. If the certificate is provided in Base64 encoding, it must be bounded at the beginning by -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----, and must be bounded at the end by -----END CERTIFICATE-----.
Note that if the given input stream does not support mark and reset, this method will consume the entire input stream. Otherwise, each call to this method consumes one certificate and the read position of the input stream is positioned to the next available byte after the inherent end-of-certificate marker. If the data in the input stream does not contain an inherent end-of-certificate marker (other than EOF) and there is trailing data after the certificate is parsed, a CertificateException is thrown.

(engine-generate-certificates this in-stream)
Returns a (possibly empty) collection view of the certificates read from the given input stream inStream.
In order to take advantage of the specialized certificate format supported by this certificate factory, each element in the returned collection view can be typecast to the corresponding certificate class. For example, if this certificate factory implements X.509 certificates, the elements in the returned collection can be typecast to the X509Certificate class.
In the case of a certificate factory for X.509 certificates, inStream may contain a single DER-encoded certificate in the formats described for generateCertificate. In addition, inStream may contain a PKCS#7 certificate chain. This is a PKCS#7 SignedData object, with the only significant field being certificates. In particular, the signature and the contents are ignored. This format allows multiple certificates to be downloaded at once. If no certificates are present, an empty collection is returned.
Note that if the given input stream does not support mark and reset, this method will consume the entire input stream.
