 * The library uses classes derived from this to process X509 Certificates.
 *
 * Strictly speaking, this class is not required (and is completely 
 * <em>Optional</em>.  However it is used by
 * XSECKeyInfoResolverDefault to extract a key from a certificate in cases
 * where the caller is not worried about the trust level of the certificate.
