Hi there, is it normal that OpenSSL removes the leading Zeros in an ASN1_INTEGER? I tried to read the Certificate Serial and the Certificate Serial in the AuthorityKeyID-Extension with C++, which works very well, but i noticed that OpenSSL removes the leading Zeros on it. The real ASN1-Value is: 00BEED73EE for example, but i got only BEED73EE. If i view the Certificate inside Microsoft Cert Tool (Certmgr.exe) the leading Zeros are listed there. Same on Firefox, if i Import and view the Certificate there. So is this the correct way of handling inside OpenSSL or is it a bug or?
Is there a way to prevent that? I’m using OpenSSL 1.0.2j. Hope someone could explain it a little bit. Thanks!
