 * Parameters used as input for the Collection <code>CertStore</code>

 * <p>
 * This class is used to provide necessary configuration parameters
 * to implementations of the Collection <code>CertStore</code>
 * algorithm. The only parameter included in this class is the
 * <code>Collection</code> from which the <code>CertStore</code> will
 * retrieve certificates and CRLs.
 * <p>
 * <b>Concurrent Access</b>
 * <p>
 * Unless otherwise specified, the methods defined in this class are not
 * thread-safe. Multiple threads that need to access a single
 * object concurrently should synchronize amongst themselves and
 * provide the necessary locking. Multiple threads each manipulating
 * separate objects need not synchronize.
