public class X509Extension
extends java.lang.Object
implements oracle.security.crypto.asn1.ASN1Object, java.io.Externalizable

An X.509 certificate or CRL extension.

An X.509 extensions consists of an ID which is an ASN.1 object identifier which indicates the type of the extension, together with a value, which is the DER encoding of an ASN.1 object, and a flag which indicates whether the extension is critical.
