GNU Libtasn1 is a standalone library written in C for manipulating ASN.1 objects including DER/BER encoding/decoding. GNU Libtasn1 is used by GnuTLS to handle X.509 structures and by GNU Shishi to handle Kerberos V5 structures.
This release includes several optimizations which provide a significant performance boost in the library. * Noteworthy changes in release 3.0 (2012-10-28) [stable] - Added tool in tests/ to benchmark X.509 structure decoding. - Added asn1_read_node_value() to obtain a node's value. - Optimizations in internal tree allocation. - Optimizations in tree search. - libtasn1.h no longer exports internal structures. - Types were renamed for consistency: ASN1_DATA_NODE -> asn1_data_node_st ASN1_ARRAY_TYPE -> asn1_static_node ASN1_TYPE -> asn1_node ASN1_TYPE_EMPTY -> NULL static_struct_asn -> asn1_static_node_st node_asn_struct -> asn1_node_st node_asn -> asn1_node_st (the old types are still available as definitions) Homepage: https://www.gnu.org/software/libtasn1/ Here are the compressed sources: ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/libtasn1/libtasn1-3.0.tar.gz http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/libtasn1/libtasn1-3.0.tar.gz Here are GPG detached signatures: ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/libtasn1/libtasn1-3.0.tar.gz.sig http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/libtasn1/libtasn1-3.0.tar.gz.sig If you need help to use Libtasn1, or want to help others, you are invited to join the help-libtasn1 mailing list, see: https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-libtasn1 All manuals are available from: https://www.gnu.org/software/libtasn1/manual/ Direct links to the manual: HTML: https://www.gnu.org/software/libtasn1/manual/libtasn1.html PDF: https://www.gnu.org/software/libtasn1/manual/libtasn1.pdf Direct links to the API Reference manual: HTML: https://www.gnu.org/software/libtasn1/reference/ PDF: https://www.gnu.org/software/libtasn1/reference/libtasn1.pdf For developers interested in improving code quality, we publish Cyclomatic code complexity charts that help you find code that may need review and improvements: https://www.gnu.org/software/libtasn1/cyclo/ Code coverage charts indicate parts of the source code that needs to be tested better by the included self-tests: https://www.gnu.org/software/libtasn1/coverage/ Clang can analyse the source code for common problems, here is its report for libtasn1: https://www.gnu.org/software/libtasn1/clang/ The software is cryptographically signed by the author using an OpenPGP key identified by the following information: pub 3104R/96865171 2008-05-04 [expires: 2028-04-29] uid Nikos Mavrogiannopoulos <nmav <at> gnutls.org> uid Nikos Mavrogiannopoulos <n.mavrogiannopoulos <at> gmail.com> sub 2048R/9013B842 2008-05-04 [expires: 2018-05-02] sub 2048R/1404A91D 2008-05-04 [expires: 2018-05-02] regards, Nikos _______________________________________________ GNU Announcement mailing list <info-gnu@gnu.org> https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnu
