What do you mean "specified"? There's an ASN.1 "specification" of the 
certificate format, which theoretically can be encoded into whatever - DER, 
PER, OER, etc. One such tool (https://github.com/mouse07410/asn1c.git that I 
use) generates from ASN.1 file codecs for many encoding formats, and is able to 
convert between them.

Unfortunately, there's no ASN.1 -> CBOR codec generator, AFAIK, which is why 
I'm asking here.

Understood. Do you know if there's any code behind it? Or just the "theory"?

Thanks!
