This class associates a java.security.cert.X509Certificate with a java.security.PrivateKey for that certificate, and, optionally, the keystore alias used to retrieve the certificate and key from a java.security.KeyStore. The class defines methods to retreive the certificate, key, and alias, and also implements the methods of the javax.security.cert.Destroyable interface.
