/**
 * Abstract class for X.509 v1 certificates. This provides a standard
 * way to access all the version 1 attributes of an X.509 certificate.
 * Attributes that are specific to X.509 v2 or v3 are not available
 * through this interface. Future API evolution will provide full access to
 * complete X.509 v3 attributes.
 * <p>
 * The basic X.509 format was defined by
 * ISO/IEC and ANSI X9 and 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>
 * 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,
 *     }
 * </pre>
 * <p>
 * Here is sample code to instantiate an X.509 certificate:
 * <pre>
 * InputStream inStream = new FileInputStream("fileName-of-cert");
 * X509Certificate cert = X509Certificate.getInstance(inStream);
 * inStream.close();
 * </pre>
 * OR
 * <pre>
 * byte[] certData = &lt;certificate read from a file, say&gt;
 * X509Certificate cert = X509Certificate.getInstance(certData);
 * </pre>
 * <p>
 * In either case, the code that instantiates an X.509 certificate
 * consults the value of the {@code cert.provider.x509v1} security property
 * to locate the actual implementation or instantiates a default implementation.
 * <p>
 * The {@code cert.provider.x509v1} property is set to a default
 * implementation for X.509 such as:
 * <pre>
 * cert.provider.x509v1=com.sun.security.cert.internal.x509.X509V1CertImpl
 * </pre>
 * <p>
 * The value of this {@code cert.provider.x509v1} property has to be
 * changed to instantiate another implementation. If this security
 * property is not set, a default implementation will be used.
 * Currently, due to possible security restrictions on access to
 * Security properties, this value is looked up and cached at class
 * initialization time and will fallback on a default implementation if
 * the Security property is not accessible.
 *
 * <p><em>Note: The classes in the package {@code javax.security.cert}
 * exist for compatibility with earlier versions of the
 * Java Secure Sockets Extension (JSSE). New applications should instead
 * use the standard Java SE certificate classes located in
 * {@code java.security.cert}.</em></p>
