An instance of this class is retured by the build( ) method of a CertPathBuilder created for the "PKIX" algorithm. getCertPath( ) returns the CertPath object that was built, and methods inherited from the superclass return additional information such as the public key of the subject of the certificate chain and the trust anchor that terminates the chain.
