Q: How to build a simplest BER (XER) encoder or decoder?
|
|
A:
|
|
|
|
Please see "Examples" section of ./doc/asn1c-usage.pdf
|
|
|
|
Also, try the following to build the X.509v3 parser:
|
|
|
|
cd ./examples/sample.source.PKIX1
|
|
make
|
|
./x509dump -h
|
|
|
|
|

Q: Your compiler supplies a der_encode() procedure. How do I encode BER?
|
|
A:
|
|
The DER (and CER) are stricter subsets of a more generic BER encoding
|
|
method. If you encode data with DER or CER, all BER-conformant decoders
|
|
will easily understand that. Hence, to encode data in the BER format,
|
|
simply use the DER encoder, der_encode().
|
|
|
|
See also: ISO/IEC 8825-1 / X.690:
|
|
"ASN.1 encoding rules: Specification of
|
|
Basic Encoding Rules (BER),
|
|
Canonical Encoding Rules (CER) and
|
|
Distinguished Encoding Rules (DER)"
