org.bouncycastle.jce.PrincipalUtil
public class PrincipalUtil
extends java.lang.Object
a utility class that will extract X509Principal objects from X.509 certificates.
Use this in preference to trying to recreate a principal from a String, not all
DNs are what they should be, so it's best to leave them encoded where they
can be.
