> Trust related questions for the TLS endpoints are answered through {{TrustManager}} instances obtained through a configurable {{TrustManagerFactory}}, see [net.jini.jeri.sslSslEndpoint|http://java.sun.com/products/jini/2.1/doc/api/net/jini/jeri/ssl/package-frame.html]. This mechanism allows for an advanced implementation of a {{TrustManager}} that can answer these questions based on context information associated with a service. E.g. Seven can have completely different key material for each individual service running in a single JVM as the trust related material is bound by a certain context.
> The X.500 discovery providers however can only have a single view on key material and certificate stores through a few system properties as documented in the e.g. package [com.sun.jini.discovery.x500.sha1withdsa|http://java.sun.com/products/jini/2.1/doc/api/com/sun/jini/discovery/x500/sha1withdsa/package-frame.html], preventing from having multiple views on key material depending on the context in which they are handling discovery.
> Besides the system properties a trust provider mechanism is required that allows to specify an implementation that can
> return a {{KeyStore}} and {{CertStore}} array depending on the context in which the discovery operation must take place.
