Hello,

I wonder if someone knows the right BER encoding of the following example:

Seq ::= SEQUENCE{
  a     [PRIVATE 1] IMPLICIT OCTET STRING
}

If the component is encoded with value 1,2,3 (three octets) in
constructed  form what would
the encoding of the inner OCTET STRING be?

Which of the following is right for Seq?
a        48,7,225,5,4,3,1,2,3        [UNIVERSAL 4] as inner tag
b        48,7,225,5,193,3,1,2,3    [PRIVATE 1] as inner tag

Second form is correct.


...but unless I'm missing something, you have an extra tag (225) between
SEQUENCE (48) and [PRIVATE 1] (193).

You are missing something. The constructed [private 1](225) is not
necessary, as there is a primitive [private 1] (193). It is would
be necessary only in case of nested tags, which is not the case.
