This interface defines an API for determining whether a CRL object meets some criteria. Implementations are used to specify critera by which a CRL objects should be selected from a CertStore. The match( ) method should examine the CRL it is passed and return true if it "matches" based on whatever criteria the implementation defines. See X509CRLSelector for an implementation that works with X.509 certificates. See CertSelector for a similar interface for use when selecting Certificate objects from a CertStore.
