+/**
+ * Note: For the time being, this application of the PKCS7 cryptographic
+ * message syntax is a partial implementation of RFC 2315.
+ * Differences include:
+ *  - The RFC specifies 6 different content types. The only type currently
+ *    supported in MbedTLS is the signed data content type.
+ *  - The only supported PKCS7 Signed Data syntax version is version 1
+ *  - The RFC specifies support for BER. This application is limited to
+ *    DER only.
+ *  - The RFC specifies that multiple digest algorithms can be specified
+ *    in the Signed Data type. Only one digest algorithm is supported in MbedTLS.
+ *  - The RFC specifies the Signed Data certificate format can be
+ *    X509 or PKCS6. The only type currently supported in MbedTLS is X509.
+ *  - The RFC specifies the Signed Data type can contain
+ *    certificate-revocation lists (crls). This application has no support
+ *    for crls so it is assumed to be an empty list.
+ *  - The RFC specifies support for multiple signers. This application only
+ *    supports the Signed Data type with a single signer.
