ASN1 Error codes
These error codes are OR'ed to X509 error codes for higher error granularity. ASN1 is a standard to specify data structures.

DER constants
These constants comply with DER encoded the ANS1 type tags. DER encoding uses hexadecimal representation. An example DER sequence is: 0x02 – tag indicating INTEGER 0x01 – length in octets 0x05 – value Such sequences are typically read into `::mbedtls_x509_buf`.

Macro Definition Documentation

#define MBEDTLS_OID_CMP	(	oid_str,
		oid_buf
	)

Value:

( ( MBEDTLS_OID_SIZE(oid_str) != (oid_buf)->len ) || \

memcmp( (oid_str), (oid_buf)->p, (oid_buf)->len) != 0 )

MBEDTLS_OID_SIZE

#define MBEDTLS_OID_SIZE(x)

Definition: asn1.h:94

Compares an mbedtls_asn1_buf structure to a reference OID.

Only works for 'defined' oid_str values (MBEDTLS_OID_HMAC_SHA1), you cannot use a 'unsigned char *oid' here!

#define MBEDTLS_OID_SIZE ( x ) (sizeof(x) - 1)

Returns the size of the binary string, without the trailing \0

Typedef Documentation

typedef struct mbedtls_asn1_buf mbedtls_asn1_buf

Type-length-value structure that allows for ASN1 using DER.

typedef struct mbedtls_asn1_named_data mbedtls_asn1_named_data

Container for a sequence or list of 'named' ASN.1 data items

typedef struct mbedtls_asn1_sequence mbedtls_asn1_sequence

Container for a sequence of ASN.1 items
