/**
 * A class for retrieving <code>Certificate</code>s and <code>CRL</code>s
 * from a repository.
 * <p>
 * This class uses a provider-based architecture.
 * To create a <code>CertStore</code>, call one of the static
 * <code>getInstance</code> methods, passing in the type of
 * <code>CertStore</code> desired, any applicable initialization parameters 
 * and optionally the name of the provider desired. 
 * <p>
 * Once the <code>CertStore</code> has been created, it can be used to 
 * retrieve <code>Certificate</code>s and <code>CRL</code>s by calling its
 * {@link #getCertificates(CertSelector selector) getCertificates} and
 * {@link #getCRLs(CRLSelector selector) getCRLs} methods.
 * <p>
 * Unlike a {@link java.security.KeyStore KeyStore}, which provides access
 * to a cache of private keys and trusted certificates, a 
 * <code>CertStore</code> is designed to provide access to a potentially
 * vast repository of untrusted certificates and CRLs. For example, an LDAP 
 * implementation of <code>CertStore</code> provides access to certificates
 * and CRLs stored in one or more directories using the LDAP protocol and the
 * schema as defined in the RFC service attribute. See Appendix A in the
 * <a href= "../../../../technotes/guides/security/certpath/CertPathProgGuide.html#AppA"> 
 * Java Certification Path API Programmer's Guide</a> for more information about
 * standard <code>CertStore</code> types.
 * <p>
 * <b>Concurrent Access</b>
 * <p>
 * All public methods of <code>CertStore</code> objects must be thread-safe. 
 * That is, multiple threads may concurrently invoke these methods on a
 * single <code>CertStore</code> object (or more than one) with no
 * ill effects. This allows a <code>CertPathBuilder</code> to search for a
 * CRL while simultaneously searching for further certificates, for instance.
 * <p>
 * The static methods of this class are also guaranteed to be thread-safe.
 * Multiple threads may concurrently invoke the static methods defined in
 * this class with no ill effects.
