Dear gentlemen/mandam, As you all may have noticed, i have just started with ASN. Although at the first sign i should look like hard to eat for the initiated, i am sure it may get more easy as time pass by. Since i believe this list is exactly for those like me, completely unfamiliar with ASN, i turn to you in the hope i get some ligth.
Since the official specification seems a lot confusing, i read further source of information and the advice was not to use GeneralString type. My question is why? Provided this basis, why is there some one writing protocol using this type, i mean: what is the rationale behind this behavior? Since i seen myself forced to comply with third party protocol specifications; i am in need for encode/decode this type. I tried it hard the ITU ASN specification and no useful has been given for this type. What are the numerical possible values for the C and G sets and what about the values for space and delete? Should a value different from those be allowed into the encoded octet array ? Where may i obtain those value? What specification should i look for? Where to download from? Sorry if this questions are to stupid, but as i said, i am a complete beginner, i.e., i have no maturity on this matters. Thanks a lot for your time and cooperation. best regards.
