+/**
+ * A specification of {@code CertStore} parameters.
+ * <p>
+ * The purpose of this interface is to group (and provide type safety for)
+ * all {@code CertStore} parameter specifications. All
+ * {@code CertStore} parameter specifications must implement this
+ * interface.
+ * <p>
+ * Typically, a {@code CertStoreParameters} object is passed as a parameter
+ * to one of the {@link CertStore#getInstance CertStore.getInstance} methods.
+ * The {@code getInstance} method returns a {@code CertStore} that
+ * is used for retrieving {@code Certificate}s and {@code CRL}s. The
+ * {@code CertStore} that is returned is initialized with the specified
+ * parameters. The type of parameters needed may vary between different types
+ * of {@code CertStore}s.
+ *
+ * @see CertStore#getInstance
+ *
+ * @since 1.4

+ * Makes a copy of this {@code CertStoreParameters}.
+ * <p>
+ * The precise meaning of "copy" may depend on the class of
+ * the {@code CertStoreParameters} object. A typical implementation
+ * performs a "deep copy" of this object, but this is not an absolute
+ * requirement. Some implementations may perform a "shallow copy" of some
+ * or all of the fields of this object.
+ * <p>
+ * Note that the {@code CertStore.getInstance} methods make a copy
+ * of the specified {@code CertStoreParameters}. A deep copy
+ * implementation of {@code clone} is safer and more robust, as it
+ * prevents the caller from corrupting a shared {@code CertStore} by
+ * subsequently modifying the contents of its initialization parameters.
+ * However, a shallow copy implementation of {@code clone} is more
+ * appropriate for applications that need to hold a reference to a
+ * parameter contained in the {@code CertStoreParameters}. For example,
+ * a shallow copy clone allows an application to release the resources of
+ * a particular {@code CertStore} initialization parameter immediately,
+ * rather than waiting for the garbage collection mechanism. This should
+ * be done with the utmost care, since the {@code CertStore} may still
+ * be in use by other threads.
+ * <p>
+ * Each subclass should state the precise behavior of this method so
+ * that users and developers know what to expect.
