 * Identifiers for an asymmetric key ID.  We have three ways of looking up a
 * key derived from an X.509 certificate:
 *
 * (1) Serial Number & Issuer.  Non-optional.  This is the only valid way to
 *     map a PKCS#7 signature to an X.509 certificate.
 *
 * (2) Issuer & Subject Unique IDs.  Optional.  These were the original way to
 *     match X.509 certificates, but have fallen into disuse in favour of (3).
 *
 * (3) Auth & Subject Key Identifiers.  Optional.  SKIDs are only provided on
 *     CA keys that are intended to sign other keys, so don't appear in end
 *     user certificates unless forced.
 *
 * We could also support an PGP key identifier, which is just a SHA1 sum of the
 * public key and certain parameters, but since we don't support PGP keys at
 * the moment, we shall ignore those.
 *
 * What we actually do is provide a place where binary identifiers can be
 * stashed and then compare against them when checking for an id match.
