      public class ContentInfo
      extends ASN1Object
      implements CMSObjectIdentifiers

  RFC 5652 ContentInfo, and RFC 5652 EncapsulatedContentInfo objects.

       ContentInfo ::= SEQUENCE {

           content [0] EXPLICIT ANY DEFINED BY contentType OPTIONAL
       }

       EncapsulatedContentInfo ::= SEQUENCE {
           eContentType ContentType,
           eContent [0] EXPLICIT OCTET STRING OPTIONAL
       }
