BasicConstraints (Digipost Certificate Validator 2.2-RC2 API)

java.lang.Object
- no.digipost.security.cert.BasicConstraints

```
public final class BasicConstraints
extends Object
```
The basic constraints extension (OID "2.5.29.19") identifies whether the subject of the certificate is a CA and the maximum depth of valid certification paths that include this certificate.

    The pathLenConstraint value of the basic constraints. This value is only meaningful in the case that type == BasicConstraints.Type.CA, and gives the maximum number of non-self-issued intermediate certificates that may follow this certificate in a valid certification path.
    Note: The last certificate in the certification path is not an intermediate certificate, and is not included in this limit. A maxFollowingIntermediateCerts of zero indicates that only one more certificate may follow in a valid certification path.
