Hi Steven,
I understood what will be the encoding when we use explicit & implicit
tagging. that is what you explained.
But what i really want to know is - In which context we will use explict
tagging & in which context we will use implicit tagging.

By using explicit tagging the underlying object is encoded as it would be if
standalone. Implict tagging avoids adding a wrapper around the object but
results in the underlying object being slightly altered.
As an example, the encoding of the certificate within MyStructExplicit will
be the same as the encoding on MyCertificate (for the same certificate),
whereas the encoding of the certificate within MyStructImplicit will be
different due to the tag being modified.
MyCertificate ::= Certificate
MyStructExplicit ::= SEQUENCE {
certificate [0] EXPLICIT Certificate }
MyStructImplicit ::= SEQUENCE {
certificate [0] IMPLICIT Certificate }
Is that any clearer?
