    - #### MetaData

          public MetaData(ASN1Boolean hashProtected,
                  DERUTF8String fileName,
                  DERIA5String mediaType,
                  Attributes otherMetaData)

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### getInstance

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

      Return a MetaData object from the given object.

      Accepted inputs:

      - null → null
      - `MetaData` object
      - `ASN1Sequence` input formats with MetaData structure inside
      Parameters:
        `obj` - the object we want converted.
      Throws:
        `java.lang.IllegalArgumentException` - if the object cannot be converted.

    - #### 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:
        a primitive representation of this object.

    - #### isHashProtected

          public boolean isHashProtected()

    - #### getFileName

          public DERUTF8String getFileName()

    - #### getMediaType

          public DERIA5String getMediaType()
