* This interface represents an X.509 extension.
|
||
|
*
|
||
|
* <p>
|
||
|
* Extensions provide a means of associating additional attributes with users
|
||
|
* or public keys and for managing a certification hierarchy. The extension
|
||
|
* format also allows communities to define private extensions to carry
|
||
|
* information unique to those communities.
|
||
|
*
|
||
|
* <p>
|
||
|
* Each extension contains an object identifier, a criticality setting
|
||
|
* indicating whether it is a critical or a non-critical extension, and
|
||
|
* and an ASN.1 DER-encoded value. Its ASN.1 definition is:
|
||
|
*
|
||
|
* <pre>
|
||
|
*
|
||
|
* Extension ::= SEQUENCE {
|
||
|
* extnId OBJECT IDENTIFIER,

||
|
* critical BOOLEAN DEFAULT FALSE,
|
||
|
* extnValue OCTET STRING
|
||

* -- contains a DER encoding of a value
|

|
* -- of the type registered for use with
|
