Convert DER encoded data to XML (String class)

[Introduced in Sirius Mods 8.0]


DER (Distinguished Encoding Rules) provide a way to uniquely encode an ASN.1 type value as a string of eight-bit octets. DerToXmlDoc converts such a string to an XmlDoc.

Syntax

%doc = string:DerToXmlDoc Throws InvalidBerData

Syntax terms

%doc An XmlDoc object variable to contain the decoded value of the method object, string.
string A DER encoded string.

Usage notes

Examples

The PemToString example loads a Longstring with the contents of the base64 encoded CRL (Certificate Revocation List). If that Longstring is %ls below, the following statement converts that string to the XmlDoc whose contents are printed thereafter:

%ls:derToXmlDoc:print

The result is shown in part below:

<Sequence> <Sequence> <Sequence> <ObjectIdentifier>1.2.840.113549.1.1.4</ObjectIdentifier> <Null/> </Sequence> <Sequence> ... <Set> <Sequence> <ObjectIdentifier>2.5.4.8</ObjectIdentifier> <PrintableString>QLD</PrintableString> </Sequence> </Set> ... <UTCTime>20010115162657.000Z</UTCTime> <UTCTime>20010214162657.000Z</UTCTime> <Sequence> <Sequence> <Integer>1</Integer> <UTCTime>19951009233205.000Z</UTCTime> </Sequence> <Sequence> <Integer>3</Integer> <UTCTime>19951201010000.000Z</UTCTime> </Sequence> ...

The ellipses indicate snipped content and are not part of the XmlDoc.
