Field Summary
`static byte` | `BAD_EXTENSIONS` Indicates a certificate has unrecognized critical extensions.
`static byte` | `BROKEN_CHAIN` Indicates a certificate in a chain was not issued by the next authority in the chain.
`static byte` | `CERTIFICATE_CHAIN_TOO_LONG` Indicates the server certificate chain exceeds the length allowed by an issuer's policy.
`static byte` | `EXPIRED` Indicates a certificate is expired.
`static byte` | `INAPPROPRIATE_KEY_USAGE` Indicates a certificate public key has been used in way deemed inappropriate by the issuer.
`static byte` | `MISSING_SIGNATURE` Indicates a certificate object does not contain a signature.
`static byte` | `NOT_YET_VALID` Indicates a certificate is not yet valid.
`static byte` | `ROOT_CA_EXPIRED` Indicates the root CA's public key is expired.
`static byte` | `SITENAME_MISMATCH` Indicates a certificate does not contain the correct site name.
`static byte` | `UNAUTHORIZED_INTERMEDIATE_CA` Indicates an intermediate certificate in the chain does not have the authority to be a intermediate CA.
`static byte` | `UNRECOGNIZED_ISSUER` Indicates a certificate was issued by an unrecognized entity.
`static byte` | `UNSUPPORTED_PUBLIC_KEY_TYPE` Indicates that type of the public key in a certificate is not supported by the device.
`static byte` | `UNSUPPORTED_SIGALG` Indicates a certificate was signed using an unsupported algorithm.
`static byte` | `VERIFICATION_FAILED` Indicates a certificate failed verification.

Constructor Summary
`CertificateException(Certificate certificate, byte status)` Create a new exception with a `Certificate` and specific error reason.
`CertificateException(String message, Certificate certificate, byte status)` Create a new exception with a message, `Certificate`, and specific error reason.
