/**
 * A representation of the XML X509IssuerSerial element as 
 * defined in the 
 * W3C Recommendation for XML-Signature Syntax and Processing. 
 * An X509IssuerSerial object contains an X.509 issuer 
 * distinguished name (DN) and serial number pair. The XML schema definition is 
 * defined as: 
 *
 *  *   <element name="X509IssuerSerial" type="ds:X509IssuerSerialType"/>
 *   <complexType name="X509IssuerSerialType">
 *     <sequence>
 *       <element name="X509IssuerName" type="string"/> 
 *       <element name="X509SerialNumber" type="integer"/> 
 *     </sequence>  
 *   </complexType>
 * 
 *
 * An X509IssuerSerial instance may be created by invoking the
 * {@link KeyInfoFactory#newX509IssuerSerial newX509IssuerSerial} method 
 * of the {@link KeyInfoFactory} class, and passing it a 
 * String and BigInteger representing the X.500
 * DN and serial number. Here is an example of creating an 
 * X509IssuerSerial from the issuer DN and serial number of an 
 * existing {@link X509Certificate}:
 *  * KeyInfoFactory factory = KeyInfoFactory.getInstance("DOM");
 * X509IssuerSerial issuer = factory.newX509IssuerSerial
 *     (cert.getIssuerX500Principal().getName(), cert.getSerialNumber());
 *
