## Uses of Class
java.security.cert.Certificate

Packages that use Certificate
java.net | Provides the classes for implementing networking applications.

Uses of Certificate in java.net

Methods in java.net that return Certificate
`Certificate[]` | `JarURLConnection.getCertificates()` Return the Certificate object for this connection if the URL for it points to a JAR file entry, null otherwise.

Methods in java.net that return types with arguments of type Certificate
`abstract List<Certificate>` | `SecureCacheResponse.getLocalCertificateChain()` Returns the certificate chain that were sent to the server during handshaking of the original connection that retrieved the network resource.
`abstract List<Certificate>` | `SecureCacheResponse.getServerCertificateChain()` Returns the server's certificate chain, which was established as part of defining the session in the original connection that retrieved the network resource, from cache.
