/** {@collect.stats}
* Interface for an X.509 extension.
*
* <p>The extensions defined for X.509 v3
* {@link X509Certificate Certificates} and v2
* {@link X509CRL CRLs} (Certificate Revocation
* Lists) provide methods
* for associating additional attributes with users or public keys,
* for managing the certification hierarchy, and for managing CRL
* distribution. The X.509 extensions format also allows communities
* to define private extensions to carry information unique to those
* communities.
*
* <p>Each extension in a certificate/CRL may be designated as
* critical or non-critical. A certificate/CRL-using system (an application
* validating a certificate/CRL) must reject the certificate/CRL if it
* encounters a critical extension it does not recognize. A non-critical
* extension may be ignored if it is not recognized.
* <p>
* The ASN.1 definition for this is:
* <pre>
* Extensions ::= SEQUENCE SIZE (1..MAX) OF Extension
*
* 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
* -- the extnId object identifier value
* }
* </pre>
* Since not all extensions are known, the <code>getExtensionValue</code>
* method returns the DER-encoded OCTET STRING of the
* extension value (i.e., the <code>extnValue</code>). This can then
* be handled by a <em>Class</em> that understands the extension.
