Hi list,
openssl makes - for example: OCSP request with nonce - the
requestExtensions a "context specific" integer.
Why does it do this? I mean, it works, but is it mandatory?
Here the openssl output.
Offset| Len |LenByte|
======+======+=======+======================================================
83| 19| 1| CONTEXT SPECIFIC (2) :
85| 17| 1| SEQUENCE :
87| 15| 1| SEQUENCE :
89| 9| 1| OBJECT IDENTIFIER : [1.3.6.1.5.5.7.48.1.2]
100| 2| 1| OCTET STRING :
102| 16| 1| OCTET STRING :
'9DB6697F527D504B82AC93070847A13C'
but i would aspekt just this:
Offset| Len |LenByte|
======+======+=======+======================================================
83| 17| 1| SEQUENCE :
85| 15| 1| SEQUENCE :
87| 9| 1| OBJECT IDENTIFIER : [1.3.6.1.5.5.7.48.1.2]
98| 2| 1| OCTET STRING :
100| 16| 1| OCTET STRING :
'9DB6697F527D504B82AC93070847A13C'
Can somebody explain me why openssl makes it "context specific"?
Regards,
Sascha
