Class: OpenSSL::ASN1::Constructive

Relationships & Source Files
Super Chains via Extension / Inclusion / Inheritance
Class Chain:
self, ASN1Data
Instance Chain:
self, Enumerable, ASN1Data
Inherits: OpenSSL::ASN1::ASN1Data
Defined in: ext/openssl/ossl_asn1.c

Overview

The parent class for all constructed encodings. The value attribute of a Constructive is always an Array. Attributes are the same as for ASN1Data, with the addition of tagging.

SET and SEQUENCE

Most constructed encodings come in the form of a SET or a SEQUENCE. These encodings are represented by one of the two sub-classes of Constructive:

  • OpenSSL::ASN1::Set

  • OpenSSL::ASN1::Sequence

Please note that tagged sequences and sets are still parsed as instances of ASN1Data. Find further details on tagged values there.

Example - constructing a SEQUENCE

int = OpenSSL::ASN1::Integer.new(1)
str = OpenSSL::ASN1::PrintableString.new('abc')
sequence = OpenSSL::ASN1::Sequence.new( [ int, str ] )

Example - constructing a SET

int = OpenSSL::ASN1::Integer.new(1)
str = OpenSSL::ASN1::PrintableString.new('abc')
set = OpenSSL::ASN1::Set.new( [ int, str ] )

Class Method Summary

ASN1Data - Inherited

.new

value: Please have a look at Constructive and Primitive to see how Ruby types are mapped to ASN.1 types and vice versa.

Instance Method Summary

ASN1Data - Inherited

#infinite_length

Alias for indefinite_length.

#infinite_length=

Alias for indefinite_length=.

#to_der

Encodes this ASN1Data into a DER-encoded String value.

Constructor Details

.new(value [, tag, tagging, tag_class ]) ⇒ Primitive

Alias for Primitive.new.

Instance Method Details

#each {|asn1| ... } ⇒ 1

Calls the given block once for each element in self, passing that element as parameter asn1. If no block is given, an enumerator is returned instead.

Example

asn1_ary.each do |asn1|
  puts asn1
end
