 * Currently this implementation only supports ContentType of EnvelopedData,
 * EncryptedData, or SignedData at the root level. The top level elements may
 * contain only a ContentInfo of ContentType Data, i.e. plain data. Further
 * nesting is not (yet) supported.
 *
 * The Forge validators for PKCS #7's ASN.1 structures are available from
 * a separate file pkcs7asn1.js, since those are referenced from other
 * PKCS standards like PKCS #12.
