/**
 * <p>
 * Abstract class for an X.509 Certificate Revocation List (CRL).
 * A CRL is a time-stamped list identifying revoked certificates.
 * It is signed by a Certificate Authority (CA) and made freely
 * available in a public repository.  
 * 
 * <p>Each revoked certificate is
 * identified in a CRL by its certificate serial number. When a
 * certificate-using system uses a certificate (e.g., for verifying a
 * remote user's digital signature), that system not only checks the
 * certificate signature and validity but also acquires a suitably-
 * recent CRL and checks that the certificate serial number is not on
 * that CRL.  The meaning of "suitably-recent" may vary with local
 * policy, but it usually means the most recently-issued CRL.  A CA
 * issues a new CRL on a regular periodic basis (e.g., hourly, daily, or
 * weekly).  Entries are added to CRLs as revocations occur, and an
 * entry may be removed when the certificate expiration date is reached.
 * <p>
 * The X.509 v2 CRL format is described below in ASN.1:
 * <pre>
 * CertificateList  ::=  SEQUENCE  {
 *     tbsCertList          TBSCertList,
 *     signatureAlgorithm   AlgorithmIdentifier,
 *     signature            BIT STRING  }
 * </pre>
 * <p>
 * More information can be found in RFC 2459,
 * "Internet X.509 Public Key Infrastructure Certificate and CRL
 * Profile" at <A HREF="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2459.txt">
 * http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2459.txt </A>.    
 * <p>
 * The ASN.1 definition of <code>tbsCertList</code> is:
 * <pre>
 * TBSCertList  ::=  SEQUENCE  {
 *     version                 Version OPTIONAL,
 *                             -- if present, must be v2
 *     signature               AlgorithmIdentifier,
 *     issuer                  Name,
 *     thisUpdate              ChoiceOfTime,
 *     nextUpdate              ChoiceOfTime OPTIONAL,
 *     revokedCertificates     SEQUENCE OF SEQUENCE  {
 *         userCertificate         CertificateSerialNumber,
 *         revocationDate          ChoiceOfTime,
 *         crlEntryExtensions      Extensions OPTIONAL
 *                                 -- if present, must be v2
 *         }  OPTIONAL,
 *     crlExtensions           [0]  EXPLICIT Extensions OPTIONAL
 *                                  -- if present, must be v2
 *     }
 * </pre>
 * <p>
 * CRLs are instantiated using a certificate factory. The following is an
 * example of how to instantiate an X.509 CRL:
 * <pre><code> 
 * InputStream inStream = new FileInputStream("fileName-of-crl");
 * CertificateFactory cf = CertificateFactory.getInstance("X.509");
 * X509CRL crl = (X509CRL)cf.generateCRL(inStream);
 * inStream.close();
 * </code></pre>
