      public interface TrustManager

  This is the base interface for JSSE trust managers.

  `TrustManager`s are responsible for managing the trust material that is used when making trust decisions, and for deciding whether credentials presented by a peer should be accepted.

  `TrustManager`s are created by either using a `TrustManagerFactory`, or by implementing one of the `TrustManager` subclasses.

  Since:
    1.4
