    - #### Evidence

          public Evidence(TimeStampTokenEvidence tstEvidence)

    - #### Evidence

          public Evidence(EvidenceRecord ersEvidence)

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### getInstance

          public static Evidence getInstance(java.lang.Object obj)

      Return an Evidence object from the given object.

      Accepted inputs:

      - `Evidence` object
      - `ASN1TaggedObject` input formats with Evidence data inside
      Parameters:
        `obj` - the object we want converted.
      Throws:
        `java.lang.IllegalArgumentException` - if the object cannot be converted.

    - #### getErsEvidence

          public EvidenceRecord getErsEvidence()

    - #### toASN1Primitive

          public ASN1Primitive toASN1Primitive()

      Description copied from class: `ASN1Object`
      Method providing a primitive representation of this object suitable for encoding.
      Specified by:
        `toASN1Primitive` in interface `ASN1Encodable`
      Specified by:
        `toASN1Primitive` in class `ASN1Object`
      Returns:
