jTrust is a Java library for trust validation of X509 certificates. I started this project simply because I'm not happy with the native Java Certification Path Validator API architecture. Instead of implementing the entire RFC 3280, we've taken a more pragmatic approach.

The jTrust library features OCSP and CRL revocation checking, automatic CRL fallback when OCSP fails, CRL caching, and a clean architecture that is ready for a scalable trust service implementation.

jTrust can also easily be configured to work in an off line mode. This is particularly useful during the historical validation of signature certificate chains.
