ASN.1 Module for new types #28

Open jiceatscion opened 6 months ago

jiceatscion commented 6 months ago

(Moved from https://github.com/scionassociation/standards/issues/62)

Russ Housley suggested that we could add an appendix for new types (with an ASN.1 module)

Finally, you might want to consider an ASN.1 Module in an appendix for any new types that you are defining. It will make it easier for others to implement.

We received some more feedback from Russ:

I have a few suggestions. I think that Section 2.2.1.2.1 could be much more simple: The ISD-AS number attribute identifies the SCION ISD and AS. The attribute type id-at-ia is defined as:


id-scion ::= OBJECT IDENTIFIER {1 3 6 1 4 1 55324}

id-at-ia AttributeType ::= {id-scion id-cppki(1) id-at(2) 1}


> Please turn Section 3.1.2.1 into an ASN.1 module so that it is clear where IMPORTed types are defined and whether IMPLICIT ot EXPLICIT tags are being used.

@jiceatscion @matzf do you think this could be addressed?
