      public List<VerificationOK> verify (X509Certificate signCert, X509Certificate issuerCert, Date signDate) throws GeneralSecurityException
      Verifies if a valid OCSP response is found for the certificate. If this method returns false, it doesn't mean the certificate isn't valid. It means we couldn't verify it against any OCSP response that was available.
      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.

      true, in case successful check, otherwise false.
      Throws:

    • isValidResponse

      public void isValidResponse (IBasicOCSPResp ocspResp, X509Certificate issuerCert, Date signDate) throws GeneralSecurityException
      Verifies if an OCSP response is genuine If it doesn't verify against the issuer certificate and response's certificates, it may verify using a trusted anchor or cert.
      Parameters:

      responderCert - the responder certificate
      Returns:
      true if the OCSP response verifies against the responder certificate
    • getOcspResponse

      public IBasicOCSPResp getOcspResponse (X509Certificate signCert, X509Certificate issuerCert)
