Thanks for the link. Marshall Rose apparently has complaints about the ASN. MACRO facility.
You don't need ASN.1 MACROs for anything in Internet protocols, and you can do without more generally anyways.
- jdougan 5y agoI take it that means you have no idea what Marshall was talking about.
- cryptonector 5y agoRose was talking about a feature of ASN.1 (MACROs) that was removed and replaced with the Information Object System (x.681, x.682, x.683). I'm not that familiar with the ASN.1 MACRO facility, no, because, after all, it's gone and replaced. My understanding is that the problems Rose identified led to the MACRO system being replaced -- good! So yeah, I don't really know what Rose was talking about, but I do know plenty about the x.681/682/683 specs since I've implemented a subset of them.
