/**
 * This class defines the functionality of a certificate factory, which is
 * used to generate certificate, certification path ({@code CertPath})
 * and certificate revocation list (CRL) objects from their encodings.
 *
 * <p>For encodings consisting of multiple certificates, use
 * {@code generateCertificates} when you want to
 * parse a collection of possibly unrelated certificates. Otherwise,
 * use {@code generateCertPath} when you want to generate
 * a {@code CertPath} (a certificate chain) and subsequently
 * validate it with a {@code CertPathValidator}.
 *
 * <p>A certificate factory for X.509 must return certificates that are an
 * instance of {@code java.security.cert.X509Certificate}, and CRLs
 * that are an instance of {@code java.security.cert.X509CRL}.
 *
 * <p>The following example reads a file with Base64 encoded certificates,
 * which are each bounded at the beginning by -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----, and
 * bounded at the end by -----END CERTIFICATE-----. We convert the
 * {@code FileInputStream} (which does not support {@code mark}
 * and {@code reset}) to a {@code BufferedInputStream} (which
 * supports those methods), so that each call to
 * {@code generateCertificate} consumes only one certificate, and the
 * read position of the input stream is positioned to the next certificate in
 * the file:
 *
 * <pre>{@code
 * FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(filename);
 * BufferedInputStream bis = new BufferedInputStream(fis);
 *
 * CertificateFactory cf = CertificateFactory.getInstance("X.509");
 *
 * while (bis.available() > 0) {
 *    Certificate cert = cf.generateCertificate(bis);
 *    System.out.println(cert.toString());
 * }
 * }</pre>
 *
 * <p>The following example parses a PKCS#7-formatted certificate reply stored
 * in a file and extracts all the certificates from it:
 *
 * <pre>
 * FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(filename);
 * CertificateFactory cf = CertificateFactory.getInstance("X.509");
 * Collection c = cf.generateCertificates(fis);
 * Iterator i = c.iterator();
 * while (i.hasNext()) {
 *    Certificate cert = (Certificate)i.next();
 *    System.out.println(cert);
 * }
 * </pre>
 *
 * <p> Every implementation of the Java platform is required to support the
 * following standard {@code CertificateFactory} type:
 * <ul>
 * <li>{@code X.509}</li>
 * </ul>
 * and the following standard {@code CertPath} encodings:
 * <ul>
 * <li>{@code PKCS7}</li>
 * <li>{@code PkiPath}</li>
 * </ul>
 * The type and encodings are described in the <a href=
 * "{@docRoot}/../specs/security/standard-names.html#certificatefactory-types">
 * CertificateFactory section</a> and the <a href=
 * "{@docRoot}/../specs/security/standard-names.html#certpath-encodings">
 * CertPath Encodings section</a> of the
 * Java Security Standard Algorithm Names Specification.
 * Consult the release documentation for your implementation to see if any
 * other types or encodings are supported.
