/**
 * X.509 Section 9.8.4.
 * 

 * This extension may be used as a public-key certificate extension, a CRL extension or an AVL extension.
 * This alternative signature shall be created by the issuer using its alternative private key, and it shall be verified using the
 * alternative public key of the issuer.
 *  
 * altSignatureValue EXTENSION ::= {
 *     SYNTAX AltSignatureValue
 *     IDENTIFIED BY id-ce-altSignatureValue }
 *
 * AltSignatureValue ::= BIT STRING
 *


 * This extension can only be created by a signer holding a multiple cryptographic algorithms public-key certificate. When
 * creating the alternative digital signature on an issued public-key certificate or CRL, the signer shall use its alternative
 * private key.
 * 

 * The procedures for creating and validating alternative digital signatures are specified in:
 *  
 *  clause 7.2.2 for public-key certificates;
 *  clause 7.10.3 for CRLs: and
 *  clause 11.4 for AVLs.
