func AddASNAppTag ¶

func AddASNAppTag(b []byte, tag int) []byte

AddASNAppTag adds an ASN1 encoding application tag value to the raw bytes provided.

func GetLengthFromASN ¶

func GetLengthFromASN(b []byte) int

GetLengthFromASN returns the length of a slice of ASN1 encoded bytes from the ASN1 length header it contains.

func GetNumberBytesInLengthHeader ¶

func GetNumberBytesInLengthHeader(b []byte) int

GetNumberBytesInLengthHeader returns the number of bytes in the ASn1 header that indicate the length.

func MarshalLengthBytes ¶

func MarshalLengthBytes(l int) []byte

MarshalLengthBytes returns the ASN1 encoded bytes for the length 'l'

There are two forms: short (for lengths between 0 and 127), and long definite (for lengths between 0 and 2^1008 -1).

Short form: One octet. Bit 8 has value "0" and bits 7-1 give the length.

Long form: Two to 127 octets. Bit 8 of first octet has value "1" and bits 7-1 give the number of additional length octets. Second and following octets give the length, base 256, most significant digit first.
