If the security data is in DER, then lber's restricted subset of BER might 
still suffice. (I haven't looked.)

But yes, linking openssl and using d2i_ASN1_type_bytes() and either 
ASN1_STRING_to_UTF8() or mapping the ASN.1 string types to (Core)Foundation 
string encodings seems like an easy(ish) way to get correct behavior.
