So! Is it possible to work around these, using ASN1_MACRO trickery or

pickiness and achieve this?
Unfortunately, AFAIK, I don't think there is a way to do this.
Matt Hi,
I would try to patch two routines.
I vaguely remember that openssl's integer decoder was eating a leading 0 octet in a positive
integer decoding.
but that seems to be fixed. code is in routine c2i_ibuf in
crypto/asn1/a_int.c
0301xx look what ossl_c2i_ASN1_BIT_STRING in a_bitstr.c Don't test for bits
when length is 1
