Description
PKIXValidator is able to detect cross-signed certificates inside a cert chain so that the shortest path is used in validation. It is also used by Java Plug-in to determine if a signed jar can be trusted. Jarsigner should also use the same method is that the output is consistent.
Comments
Change priority from P4 to P3 because this bug is important for the weak crypto roadmap. We want jarsigner and Plugin/WebStart to return consistent results.
