public interface CertificateCredential
extends Credential

A CertificateCredential is a Credential extension that carries with it a list of 0 or more certificates, represented natively as a @link{java.security.cert.Certificate}. The list of certificates is ordered from issuee to issuer, and may (or may not) terminate in a self-signed certificate. If the CredentialType on a Credential instance is CredentialType.CERTIFICATE, then the Credential instance may be safely cast to a CertificateCredential.
