C++ for the self-taught is currently focused on developing the Rubicon ASN.1 compiler. You can follow the development of this open source project, started on a whim by Ronald Landheer-Cieslak, by following this site.

# Rubicon ASN.1 Project

On the surface, he is right, of course: ASN.1 is an overly complex domain-specific language which consists of two major categories of languages: a schema language, specified in X.680, X.681, X.682, and X.683; and a number of encodings. There is, however, one encoding in there that I happen to like for its mix of efficiency and simplicity: it's called DER, for Distinguished Encoding Rules, and is a subset of BER, the Basic Encoding Rules, both of which are defined in X.690 (along with the Canonical Encoding Rules).

DER is a nice encoding in that it consistently encodes values as type-length-value types which the values themselves can be sets or sequences of type-length-value tuples. Values are encoded in (close to) their smallest possible representation in whole octets. This makes DER reasonably easy to decode.

I.e. the problem is in the schema language, which defines innumerable string types which can all be represented in the same way (as an `std::vector`). I as much here:

Before I go much father, I should note that the way I debate things often leaves me arguing for the minority position: I challenge the preposition ruthlessly, relentlessly and fearlessly until it either crumbles or survives. ASN.1 implementations are crappy more often than not, DER decoders are no exception. However, these are implementation issues that are not sure to ASN.1's design. Disregarding X.681, X.682, and X.683, XER, BER, CER, and PER, a safe subset of ASN.1, using X.680 and a subset of X.690, exists.
