/**
 * The Certificate class is an abstract class used to manage
 * identity certificates. An identity certificate is a
 * combination of a principal and a public key which is
 * certified by another principal. This is the puprose of
 * Certificate Authorities (CA).
 *
 * <p>This class is used to manage different types of certificates
 * but have important common puposes. Different types of
 * certificates like X.509 and OpenPGP share general certificate
 * functions (like encoding and verifying) and information like
 * public keys.
 *
 * <p>X.509, OpenPGP, and SDSI can be implemented by subclassing this
 * class even though they differ in storage methods and information
 * stored.
