/**
* <p>
* Abstract class for X.509 certificates. This provides a standard
* way to access all the attributes of an X.509 certificate.
* <p>
* In June of 1996, the basic X.509 v3 format was completed by
* ISO/IEC and ANSI X9, which is described below in ASN.1:
* <pre>
* Certificate ::= SEQUENCE {
* tbsCertificate TBSCertificate,
* signatureAlgorithm AlgorithmIdentifier,
* signature BIT STRING }
* </pre>
* <p>
* These certificates are widely used to support authentication and
* other functionality in Internet security systems. Common applications
* include Privacy Enhanced Mail (PEM), Transport Layer Security (SSL),
* code signing for trusted software distribution, and Secure Electronic
* Transactions (SET).
* <p>
* These certificates are managed and vouched for by <em>Certificate
* Authorities</em> (CAs). CAs are services which create certificates by
* placing data in the X.509 standard format and then digitally signing
* that data. CAs act as trusted third parties, making introductions
* between principals who have no direct knowledge of each other.
* CA certificates are either signed by themselves, or by some other
* CA such as a "root" CA.
* <p>
* More information can be found in
* <a href="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3280.txt">RFC 3280: Internet X.509
* Public Key Infrastructure Certificate and CRL Profile</a>.
* <p>
* The ASN.1 definition of {@code tbsCertificate} is:
* <pre>
* 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 must be v2 or v3
* subjectUniqueID [2] IMPLICIT UniqueIdentifier OPTIONAL,
* -- If present, version must be v2 or v3
* extensions [3] EXPLICIT Extensions OPTIONAL
* -- If present, version must be v3
* }
* </pre>
* <p>
* Certificates are instantiated using a certificate factory. The following is
* an example of how to instantiate an X.509 certificate:
* <pre>
* try (InputStream inStream = new FileInputStream("fileName-of-cert")) {
* CertificateFactory cf = CertificateFactory.getInstance("X.509");
* X509Certificate cert = (X509Certificate)cf.generateCertificate(inStream);
* }
* </pre>
