+ /*
+ * Document-module: OpenSSL::ASN1
+ *
+ * Abstract Syntax Notation One (or ASN.1) is a notation syntax to
+ * describe data structures and is defined in ITU-T X.680. ASN.1 itself
+ * does not mandate any encoding or parsing rules, but usually ASN.1 data
+ * structures are encoded using the Distinguished Encoding Rules (DER) or
+ * less often the Basic Encoding Rules (BER) described in ITU-T X.690. DER
+ * and BER encodings are binary Tag-Length-Value (TLV) encodings that are
+ * quite concise compared to other popular data description formats such
+ * as XML, JSON etc.
+ * ASN.1 data structures are very common in cryptographic applications,
+ * e.g. X.509 public key certificates or certificate revocation lists
+ * (CRLs) are all defined in ASN.1 and DER-encoded. ASN.1, DER and BER are
+ * the building blocks of applied cryptography.
+ * The ASN1 module provides the necessary classes that allow generation
+ * of ASN.1 data structures and the methods to encode them using a DER
+ * encoding. The decode method allows parsing arbitrary BER-/DER-encoded
+ * data to a Ruby object that can then be modified and re-encoded at will.
+ *
+ * == ASN.1 class hierarchy
+ *
+ * The base class representing ASN.1 structues is ASN1Data. ASN1Data offers
+ * attributes to read and set the +tag+, the +tag_class+ and finally the
+ * +value+ of a particular ASN.1 item. Upon parsing, any tagged values
+ * (implicit or explicit) will be represented by ASN1Data instances because
+ * their "real type" can only be determined using out-of-band information
+ * from the ASN.1 type declaration. Since this information is normally
+ * known when encoding a type, all sub-classes of ASN1Data offer an
+ * additional attribute +tagging+ that allows to encode a value implicitly
+ * (+:IMPLICIT+) or explicitly (+:EXPLICIT+).
+ *
+ * === Constructive
+ *
+ * Constructive is, as its name implies, the base class for all
+ * constructed encodings, i.e. those that consist of several values,
+ * opposed to "primitive" encodings with just one single value.
+ * Primitive values that are encoded with "infinite length" are typically
+ * constructed (their values come in multiple chunks) and are therefore
+ * represented by instances of Constructive. The value of an Constructive
+ * is always an Array.
+ *
+ * ==== ASN1::Set and ASN1::Sequence
+ *
+ * The most common constructive encodings are SETs and SEQUENCEs, which is
+ * why there are two sub-classes of Constructive representing each of
+ * them.
+ *
+ * === Primitive
+ *
+ * This is the super class of all primitive values. Primitive
+ * itself is not used when parsing ASN.1 data, all values are either
+ * instances of a corresponding sub-class of Primitive or they are
+ * instances of ASN1Data if the value was tagged implicitly or explicitly.
+ * Please cf. Primitive documentation for details on sub-classes and
+ * their respective mappings of ASN.1 data types to Ruby types.
+ *
+ * == Possible values for attribute +tagging+
+ *
+ * When constructing an ASN1Data object the ASN.1 type definition may
+ * require certain elements to be either implicitly or explicitly tagged.
+ * This can be achieved by setting the +tagging+ attribute manually for
+ * sub-classes of ASN1Data. Use the symbol +:IMPLICIT+ for implicit
+ * tagging and +:EXPLICIT+ if the element requires explicit tagging.
+ *
+ * == Possible values for +tag_class+
+ *
+ * It is possible to create arbitrary ASN1Data objects that also support
+ * a PRIVATE or APPLICATION tag class. Possible values for the +tag_class+
+ * attribute are:
+ * * +:UNIVERSAL+ (the default for untagged values)
+ * * +:CONTEXT_SPECIFIC+ (the default for tagged values)
+ * * +:APPLICATION+
+ * * +:PRIVATE+
+ *
+ * == Tag constants
+ *
+ * There is a constant defined for each universal tag:
+ * * OpenSSL::ASN1::EOC (0)
+ * * OpenSSL::ASN1::BOOLEAN (1)
+ * * OpenSSL::ASN1::INTEGER (2)
+ * * OpenSSL::ASN1::BIT_STRING (3)
+ * * OpenSSL::ASN1::OCTET_STRING (4)
+ * * OpenSSL::ASN1::NULL (5)
+ * * OpenSSL::ASN1::OBJECT (6)

+ * * OpenSSL::ASN1::UNIVERSALSTRING (28)

+ * == UNIVERSAL_TAG_NAME constant

+ * ASN1#decode, tagged values are always represented by an instance
+ * of ASN1Data.
+ *
+ * == Attributes
+ *
+ * === +value+
+ *
+ * Carries the value of a ASN.1 type.
+ * Please confer Constructive and Primitive for the mappings between
+ * ASN.1 data types and Ruby classes.
+ *
+ * === +tag+
+ *
+ * A +Number+ representing the tag number of this ASN1Data. Never +nil+.
+ *
+ * === +tag_class+
+ *
+ * A +Symbol+ reprensenting the tag class of this ASN1Data. Never +nil+.
+ * See ASN1Data for possible values.
+ *
+ * === +infinite_length+
+ *
+ * Never +nil+. A Boolean indicating whether the encoding was infinite
+ * length (in the case of parsing) or whether an infinite length encoding
+ * shall be used (in the encoding case).
+ * In DER, every value has a finite length associated with it. But in
+ * scenarios where large amounts of data need to be transferred it
+ * might be desirable to have some kind of streaming support available.
+ * For example, huge OCTET STRINGs are preferrably sent in smaller-sized
+ * chunks, each at a time.
+ * This is possible in BER by setting the length bytes of an encoding
+ * to zero and by this indicating that the following value will be
+ * sent in chunks. Infinite length encodings are always constructed.
+ * The end of such a stream of chunks is indicated by sending a EOC
+ * (End of Content) tag. SETs and SEQUENCEs may use an infinite length
+ * encoding, but also primitive types such as e.g. OCTET STRINGS or
+ * BIT STRINGS may leverage this functionality (cf. ITU-T X.690).
+ *
+ * == The role of ASN1Data for parsing tagged values
+ *
+ * When encoding an ASN.1 type it is inherently clear what original
+ * type a this value has, regardless of its tagging.
+ * But opposed to the time when an ASN.1 type is to be encoded, when
+ * parsing them it is not possible to deduce the "real type" of tagged
+ * values. This is why tagged values are generally parsed into ASN1Data
+ * instances, but with a different outcome for implicit and explicit
+ * tagging.
+ * === Example of a parsed implicitly tagged value
+ *
+ * An implicitly 1-tagged INTEGER value will be parsed as an
+ * ASN1Data with
+ * * +tag+ equal to 1
+ * * +tag_class+ equal to +:CONTEXT_SPECIFIC+
+ * * +value+ equal to a +String+ that carries the raw encoding
+ * of the INTEGER.
+ * This implies that a subsequent decoding step is required to
+ * completely decode implicitly tagged values.
+ *
+ * === Example of a parsed explicitly tagged value
+ *
+ * An explicitly 1-tagged INTEGER value will be parsed as an
+ * ASN1Data with
+ * * +tag+ equal to 1
+ * * +tag_class+ equal to +:CONTEXT_SPECIFIC+
+ * * +value+ equal to an +Array+ with one single element, an
+ * instance of OpenSSL::ASN1::Integer, i.e. the inner element
+ * is the non-tagged primitive value, and the tagging is represented
+ * in the outer ASN1Data
+ *
+ * == Example - Decoding an implicitly tagged INTEGER
+ * int = OpenSSL::ASN1::Integer.new(1, 0, :IMPLICIT) # implicit 0-tagged
+ * seq = OpenSSL::ASN1::Sequence.new( [int] )
+ * der = seq.to_der
+ * asn1 = OpenSSL::ASN1.decode(der)

+ * raw_int = asn1.value[0]
+ * # manually rewrite tag and tag class to make it an UNIVERSAL value
