When the program executes this line:
asn1Input = new ASN1InputStream(policyInformationOctetString.getOctets());
Checking the dedug mode, the variables assume this value:
asn1Input= ASN1InputStream (id=74)
END_OF_STREAM= ASN1InputStream$1 (id=75)
eofFound= false
in= ByteArrayInputStream (id=77)
policyInformationOctetString= DEROctetString (id=68)
string= byte[9] (id=82)
[0]= 48
[1]= 7
[2]= 48
[3]= 5
[4]= 6
[5]= 3
[6]= 42
[7]= 4
[8]= 5
Then the next line would be where there is .getInstance().
At this point the execution stops and the thread is forced to terminate.

What exception is being thrown? What does the stack trace look like?
It's impossible to tell what's going on from the below information.
