I try to make extensions as Basic Constrains and Key Usage, who are
necessary for a pki...
With using String.toByteArray() and OCTET_STRING(byte[]), if I test
it with string "a" I get "61 a"; with String "A", I get "41 A", with
"aA", "61 31 1a" when I use ie to see my certificate.
I don't know how to convert a string value for my extensions (like
"Certificate Signing , Off-line CRL Signing" for the Extension
keyUsage) to an OCTET_STRING...
Is there any method to do this, or must I write byte per byte my
OCTET_STRING? :-)
