30 /**
31  * Interface for an X.509 extension.
32  *
33  * <p>The extensions defined for X.509 v3
34  * {@link X509Certificate Certificates} and v2
35  * {@link X509CRL CRLs} (Certificate Revocation
36  * Lists) provide methods
37  * for associating additional attributes with users or public keys,
38  * for managing the certification hierarchy, and for managing CRL
39  * distribution. The X.509 extensions format also allows communities
40  * to define private extensions to carry information unique to those
41  * communities.
42  *
43  * <p>Each extension in a certificate/CRL may be designated as
44  * critical or non-critical.  A certificate/CRL-using system (an application
45  * validating a certificate/CRL) must reject the certificate/CRL if it
46  * encounters a critical extension it does not recognize.  A non-critical
47  * extension may be ignored if it is not recognized.
48  * <p>
49  * The ASN.1 definition for this is:
50  * <pre>
51  * Extensions  ::=  SEQUENCE SIZE (1..MAX) OF Extension
52  *
53  * Extension  ::=  SEQUENCE  {
54  *     extnId        OBJECT IDENTIFIER,
55  *     critical      BOOLEAN DEFAULT FALSE,
56  *     extnValue     OCTET STRING
57  *                   -- contains a DER encoding of a value
58  *                   -- of the type registered for use with
59  *                   -- the extnId object identifier value
60  * }
61  * </pre>
62  * Since not all extensions are known, the {@code getExtensionValue}
63  * method returns the DER-encoded OCTET STRING of the
64  * extension value (i.e., the {@code extnValue}). This can then
65  * be handled by a <em>Class</em> that understands the extension.
66  *
