/**
	X509Certificate is the abstract class for X.509 certificates.
	This provides a stanard class interface for accessing all 
	the attributes of X.509 certificates.

	In June 1996, the basic X.509 v3 format was finished by 
	ISO/IEC and ANSI X.9. The ASN.1 DER format is below:

	   Certificate  ::=  SEQUENCE  {
        	tbsCertificate       TBSCertificate,
	        signatureAlgorithm   AlgorithmIdentifier,
        	signatureValue       BIT STRING  }

	These certificates are widely used in various Internet 
	protocols to support authentication. It is used in 
	Privacy Enhanced Mail (PEM), Transport Layer Security (TLS),
	Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), code signing for trusted software
	distribution, and Secure Electronic Transactions (SET).

	The certificates are managed and vouched for by 
	<I>Certificate Authorities</I> (CAs). CAs are companies or 
	groups that create certificates by placing the data in the 
	X.509 certificate format and signing it with their private
	key. CAs serve as trusted third parties by certifying that
	the person or group specified in the certificate is who
	they say they are. 

	The ASN.1 defintion for <I>tbsCertificate</I> is
	
   TBSCertificate  ::=  SEQUENCE  {
        version         [0]  EXPLICIT Version DEFAULT v1,
        serialNumber         CertificateSerialNumber,
        signature            AlgorithmIdentifier,
        issuer               Name,
        validity             Validity,
        subject              Name,
        subjectPublicKeyInfo SubjectPublicKeyInfo,
        issuerUniqueID  [1]  IMPLICIT UniqueIdentifier OPTIONAL,
                             -- If present, version shall be v2 or v3
        subjectUniqueID [2]  IMPLICIT UniqueIdentifier OPTIONAL,
                             -- If present, version shall be v2 or v3
        extensions      [3]  EXPLICIT Extensions OPTIONAL
                             -- If present, version shall be v3
        }

   Version  ::=  INTEGER  {  v1(0), v2(1), v3(2)  }

   CertificateSerialNumber  ::=  INTEGER

   Validity ::= SEQUENCE {
        notBefore      Time,
        notAfter       Time }

   Time ::= CHOICE {
        utcTime        UTCTime,
        generalTime    GeneralizedTime }

   UniqueIdentifier  ::=  BIT STRING

   SubjectPublicKeyInfo  ::=  SEQUENCE  {
        algorithm            AlgorithmIdentifier,
        subjectPublicKey     BIT STRING  }

   Extensions  ::=  SEQUENCE SIZE (1..MAX) OF Extension

   Extension  ::=  SEQUENCE  {
        extnID      OBJECT IDENTIFIER,
        critical    BOOLEAN DEFAULT FALSE,
        extnValue   OCTET STRING  }


	Certificates are created with the CertificateFactory.
	For more information about X.509 certificates, consult
	rfc2459.
