ASN.1 is not a binary protocol. It is a language to describe messages.
Typically you create message description which is then compiled to code that can serialize/deserialize messages in BER-TLV or PER-TLV.
I know because I wrote a complete parser/serializer for BER-TLV. It is simple protocol and any security issue is in the parser/serializer and not the protocol itself. That for simple reason that the protocol is nothing more than a format to serialize/deserialize the data.
- lmz 5y agoTrue, but they certainly don't make it too easy either with the indefinite length constructs.
