Hi All!
It was a long time before I decided to write to you
this e-mail.
Finally I decided to write to you as I am a little bit
confused with this "BIG/LITTLE ENDIAN" issues in ASN.1
ASN.1 is the standard for communication between
heterogeneous systems.
What means also that it "doesn't care" about diversity
of machine architectures.
OK. So let's say sender machine encodes some messages
in ASN.1 and send it on the wire.
WHAT IS THE STANDARD FOR BYTES ORDER IN ENCODED ASN.1
MESSAGE?
Does this ASN.1 standard assume that for example
mesage should be encoded in big/little endian format
before sending
the message in the wire ?
I am asking about this because I am trying to write
decoding asn.1 function for lenght of TLV and I don't
know
if I should check the format (big/little endian) of
incoming asn.1 binaries first or I can assume already
that incoming
asn.1 mesage is in big/little endian format?
Thanks for any kind of explanation ;)
Best regards,
Piotr
