Greetings, In JDK, the SUN provider package includes implementation of certificate factory for X.509 certificates and certificate revocation lists only. As you can see in Java 1.4 API doc, there is only X509Certificate abstract class under java.security.cert package. i.e. There is no standard Java Solution for process PKCS#7 certificate data format.
Definitely, you can develop your own implementation or search one from the Internet(but I guess it is not easy). However, I found that a PKCS#7 certificate file can be parsed with the "X.509" CertificateFactory with the Sun's implementation as stated the in the following URL. Parsing a Certificate Reply http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4/docs/guide/security/CryptoSpec.html#ParseCert e.g. FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(filename); CertificateFactory cf = CertificateFactory.getInstance("X.509"); Collection c = cf.generateCertificates(fis); Iterator i = c.iterator(); while (i.hasNext()) { Certificate cert = (Certificate)i.next(); System.out.println(cert); } Yes. It works. It can parse the cert file(*.p7b), but you can't validate the cert perfectly. Because, it's still using the X509 implementation. And, you will get limited methods to call which defined in Certificate class.

I tried Google and found some implementations (from RSA, IBM and IAIK) included in their JCE packages, but it looks like these are proprietary extensions to JCE not included in the original spec (since JCE is for encryption only).
