 * <p> This class represents an X.500 <code>Principal</code>.
 * <code>X500Principal</code>s are represented by distinguished names such as
 * "CN=Duke, OU=JavaSoft, O=Sun Microsystems, C=US".
 *
 * <p> This class can be instantiated by using a string representation
 * of the distinguished name, or by using the ASN.1 DER encoded byte
 * representation of the distinguished name.  The current specification
 * for the string representation of a distinguished name is defined in
 * <a href="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2253.txt">RFC 2253</a>.
 * This class, however, accepts string formats from both RFC 2253 and
 * <a href="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1779.txt">RFC 1779</a>,
 * and also recognizes attribute type keywords whose OIDs
 * (Object Identifiers) are defined in
 * <a href="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2459.txt">RFC 2459</a>.
 *
 * <p> The string representation for this <code>X500Principal</code>
 * can be obtained by calling the <code>getName</code> methods.
 *
 * <p> Note that the <code>getSubjectX500Principal</code> and
 * <code>getIssuerX500Principal</code> methods of
 * <code>X509Certificate</code> return X500Principals representing the
 * issuer and subject fields of the certificate.
