/**
 * An implementation of an {@link ISignatureCodec} that knows to encode and
 * decode RSA PKCS1 (v1.5) signatures into the raw bytes which would constitute
 * a DER-encoded form of the ASN.1 structure defined in RFC-2459, and RFC-2313
 * as described in the next paragraphs.
 * <p>
 * Digital signatures when transmitted in an X.509 certificates are encoded
 * in DER (Distinguished Encoding Rules) as a BIT STRING; i.e.
 * 
 * <pre>
 * Certificate ::= SEQUENCE {
 *   tbsCertificate       TBSCertificate,
 *   signatureAlgorithm   AlgorithmIdentifier,
 *   signature            BIT STRING
 * }
 * </pre>
 * <p>
 * The output of the encoder, and the input of the decoder, of this codec are
 * then the <i>raw</i> bytes of such a BIT STRING; i.e. not the DER-encoded
 * form itself.
 * <p>
 * Our implementation of the RSA PKCS1 signature algorithm outputs a byte array
 * as the result of generating a digital signature, in accordance with RFC-2313.
 * As a consequence, the encoder and decoder of this codec, simply pass through
 * such a byte array.
 * <p>
 * Client code that needs to build a DER BIT STRING <b>MUST</b> construct such
 * an ASN.1 value. The following is an example of how to do this:
 * <p>
 * <pre>
 * ...
 * import gnu.java.security.der.BitString;
 * import gnu.java.security.der.DER;
 * import gnu.java.security.der.DERValue;
 * ...
 * DERValue bitString = new DERValue(DER.BIT_STRING, new BitString(sigBytes));
 * ...
 * </pre>
