Do you need to work with OIDs and other DER for ASN.1 encoded data and are using a specific part of OpenSSL as DER encoder/decoder? In this case you might take a look to http://lionet.info/asn1c/compiler.html It is free (BSD), is exists since many years and there is a lot of documentations and examples, one deals with X.509. Just in case it helps. oki, Steffen >From the webpage: The asn1c is a free, open source compiler of ASN.1 specifications into C source code. It supports a range of ASN.1 syntaxes, including ISO/IEC/ITU ASN.1 1988, '94, '97, 2002 and later amendments. The supported sets of encoding rules are * BER: ITU-T Rec. X.690 | ISO/IEC 8825-1 (2002) (BER/DER/CER) * PER: X.691|8825-2 (2002) (PER). * XER: X.693|8825-3 (2001) (BASIC-XER/CXER). The compiler was written specifically to address security concerns while providing streaming decoding capabilities. ---[ End of Message ]--- About Ingenico: Ingenico is a leading provider of payment, transaction and business solutions, with over 15 million terminals deployed in more than 125 countries.
