This class defines the Service Provider Interface (SPI)
 for the KeyStore class.
 All the abstract methods in this class must be implemented by each
 cryptographic service provider who wishes to supply the implementation
 of a keystore for a particular keystore type.

 TrustedCertificateEntry,
 then the trusted certificate contained in that entry is returned.
