public List<VerificationOK> verify(X509Certificate signCert,
                                   X509Certificate issuerCert,
                                   Date signDate)

Overrides:

verify in class RootStoreVerifier

Parameters:

signCert - the certificate that needs to be checked

issuerCert - its issuer

signDate - the date the certificate needs to be valid

Returns:

a list of VerificationOK objects. The list will be empty if the certificate couldn't be verified.

Throws:

GeneralSecurityException - thrown if the certificate has expired, isn't valid yet, or if an exception has been thrown in Certificate#verify.

IOException - Deprecated
