1211                         subjectKeyId = id.getIdentifier();

Should "id" be "ki"?

Also, these 2 methods are not thread-safe, which could cause issues if 
the same certificates are used in multiple threads. This is an existing 
issue with the methods, but unless this is a demonstrable performance 
issue, I think you should change them to not cache the 
subject/authKeyIds and just generate them each time the methods are invoked.
