# Shared PGP Certificate Directory for Java
Backend-agnostic implementation of the [Shared PGP Certificate Directory Specification](https://sequoia-pgp.gitlab.io/pgp-cert-d/).
This module implements the non-OpenPGP parts of the spec, e.g. locating the directory, resolving certificate file paths,
locking the directory for writes etc.
To get a useful implementation, a backend implementation such as `pgpainless-cert-d` is required, which needs to provide
support for reading and merging certificates.
`pgp-cert-d-java` can be used as an implementation of `pgp-certificate-store`.
