/**
 * Validator abstract base class. Concrete classes are instantiated by calling
 * one of the getInstance() methods. All methods defined in this class
 * must be safe for concurrent use by multiple threads.<p>
 *
 * The model is that a Validator instance is created specifying validation
 * settings, such as trust anchors or PKIX parameters. Then one or more
 * paths are validated using those parameters. In some cases, additional
 * information can be provided per path validation. This is independent of
 * the validation parameters and currently only used for TLS server validation.
 * <p>
 * Path validation is performed by calling one of the validate() methods. It
 * specifies a suggested path to be used for validation if available, or only
 * the end entity certificate otherwise. Optionally additional certificates can
 * be specified that the caller believes could be helpful. Implementations are
 * free to make use of this information or validate the path using other means.
 * validate() also checks that the end entity certificate is suitable for the
 * intended purpose as described below.
 *
 * <p>There are two orthogonal parameters to select the Validator
 * implementation: type and variant. Type selects the validation algorithm.
 * Currently supported are TYPE_SIMPLE and TYPE_PKIX. See SimpleValidator and
 * PKIXValidator for details.
 * <p>
 * Variant controls additional extension checks. Currently supported are
 * five variants:
 * <ul>
 * <li>VAR_GENERIC (no additional checks),
 * <li>VAR_TLS_CLIENT (TLS client specific checks)
 * <li>VAR_TLS_SERVER (TLS server specific checks), and
 * <li>VAR_CODE_SIGNING (code signing specific checks).
 * <li>VAR_JCE_SIGNING (JCE code signing specific checks).
 * <li>VAR_TSA_SERVER (TSA server specific checks).
 * <li>VAR_PLUGIN_CODE_SIGNING (Plugin/WebStart code signing specific checks).
 * </ul>
 * See EndEntityChecker for more information.
 * <p>
 * Examples:
 * <pre>
 *   // instantiate validator specifying type, variant, and trust anchors
 *   Validator validator = Validator.getInstance(Validator.TYPE_PKIX,
 *                                               Validator.VAR_TLS_CLIENT,
 *                                               trustedCerts);
 *   // validate one or more chains using the validator
 *   validator.validate(chain); // throws CertificateException if failed
 * </pre>
