ASN.1 - DER

[Babs]

Hello everybody!

Has anybody got an advice how to encode ASN.1 profiles with
Distinguished Encoding Rules (DER)??

I am currently looking for a library that can be included into my C++
project.

Shall I use a foreign library or is it advisable to code it myself?

I have found several tools on the internet but I'd like to know if
anybody has experience with certain tools.

Thanks very much!

Barbara

I don't think those are topical in a C++ language newsgroup. My
opinion is based on [perhaps incorrect] knowledge that neither ANS.1
nor DER are defined by the language Standard.

I am currently looking for a library that can be included into my C++
project.

Look up "Available C++ Libraries FAQ" post in the archives. Every
month (or so) Nikki Locke posts a brief description and a link to
this very nice source of information.

I bet both are possible. www.google.com is your friend.

I have found several tools on the internet but I'd like to know if anybody
has experience with certain tools.

My take on this is simple: if a tool is available on the 'Net, there
has to be at least several people who have experience with them. They
are not, however, topical here _unless_ their purpose is to somehow
deal with C++ _language_ itself (like compilers, preprocessors, etc.)
