An ASN1_OCTET_STRING is just another name for the ASN1_STRING type. Assuming that the data you are trying to manipulate corresponds to an octet boundary (it truly is just a collection of octets and not a bit string), then you can simple treat it as a block of memory to be copied around. ASN1_STRING.length holds the length of the data and ASN1_STRING.data is a pointer to the octet "string" ( I never liked the term string here because C/C++ programmers always think of a string being NUL terminated whereas an octet string is usually not).
