/**
 * X.509 Section 9.8.3.
 * 

 * This extension may be used as a public-key certificate extension, a CRL extension or an AVL extension. It shall contain
 * the algorithm identifier for the alternative digital signature algorithm used by the signer when creating an alternative
 * digital signature and by the relying party when validating the alternative digital signature.
 *  
 * altSignatureAlgorithm EXTENSION ::= {
 *     SYNTAX AltSignatureAlgorithm
 *     IDENTIFIED BY id-ce-altSignatureAlgorithm }
 *
 * AltSignatureAlgorithm ::= AlgorithmIdentifier{{SupportedAlgorithms}}
 *


 * When the altSignatureAlgorithm extension is included in a particular value that is an instance of a data type that
 * supports extensions, the altSignatureValue extension shall also be included.
 * 

 * NOTE 1 – By having a separate altSignatureAlgorithm extension, instead of having it combined with the
 * altSignatureValue extension, the alternative digital signature algorithm is protected by the alternative signature.
 * This extension may be flagged either as critical or as non-critical.
 * 

 * NOTE 2 – It is recommended that it be flagged as non-critical. Flagging it as critical would require all relying parties to understand
 * the extension and the alternative public-key algorithms
