/**
 * Represents a single DER-encoded value.  DER encoding rules are a subset
 * of the "Basic" Encoding Rules (BER), but they only support a single way
 * ("Definite" encoding) to encode any given value.
 *
 * <P>All DER-encoded data are triples <em>{type, length, data}</em>.  This
 * class represents such tagged values as they have been read (or constructed),
 * and provides structured access to the encoded data.
 *
 * <P>At this time, this class supports only a subset of the types of DER
 * data encodings which are defined.  That subset is sufficient for parsing
 * most X.509 certificates, and working with selected additional formats
 * (such as PKCS #10 certificate requests, and some kinds of PKCS #7 data).
 *
 * A note with respect to T61/Teletex strings: From RFC 1617, section 4.1.3
 * and RFC 3280, section 4.1.2.4., we assume that this kind of string will
 * contain ISO-8859-1 characters only.
