    - #### AuthorityKeyIdentifier

          protected AuthorityKeyIdentifier(ASN1Sequence seq)

    - #### AuthorityKeyIdentifier

          public AuthorityKeyIdentifier(SubjectPublicKeyInfo spki)

      Deprecated. create the extension using org.bouncycastle.cert.X509ExtensionUtils
      Calulates the keyidentifier using a SHA1 hash over the BIT STRING from SubjectPublicKeyInfo as defined in RFC2459. Example of making a AuthorityKeyIdentifier:

             SubjectPublicKeyInfo apki = new SubjectPublicKeyInfo((ASN1Sequence)new ASN1InputStream(
                 publicKey.getEncoded()).readObject());
             AuthorityKeyIdentifier aki = new AuthorityKeyIdentifier(apki);
