Overview

The parent class for all primitive encodings. Attributes are the same as for ASN1Data. Primitive values can never be infinite length encodings, thus it is not possible to set the infinite_length attribute for Primitive and its sub-classes.

Primitive sub-classes and their mapping to Ruby classes

  • Krypt::ASN1::EndOfContents <=> value is always nil
  • Krypt::ASN1::Boolean <=> value is a Boolean
  • Krypt::ASN1::Integer <=> value is a Number
  • Krypt::ASN1::BitString <=> value is a String
  • Krypt::ASN1::OctetString <=> value is a String
  • Krypt::ASN1::Null <=> value is always nil
  • Krypt::ASN1::Object <=> value is a String
  • Krypt::ASN1::Enumerated <=> value is a Number
  • Krypt::ASN1::UTF8String <=> value is a String
  • Krypt::ASN1::NumericString <=> value is a String
  • Krypt::ASN1::PrintableString <=> value is a String
  • Krypt::ASN1::T61String <=> value is a String
  • Krypt::ASN1::VideotexString <=> value is a String
  • Krypt::ASN1::IA5String <=> value is a String
  • Krypt::ASN1::UTCTime <=> value is a Time (or a Number when creating them)
  • Krypt::ASN1::GeneralizedTime <=> value is a Time (or a Number when creating them)
  • Krypt::ASN1::GraphicString <=> value is a String
  • Krypt::ASN1::ISO64String <=> value is a String
  • Krypt::ASN1::GeneralString <=> value is a String
  • Krypt::ASN1::UniversalString <=> value is a String
  • Krypt::ASN1::BMPString <=> value is a String

Krypt::ASN1::BitString

Additional attribute

unused_bits: if the underlying BIT STRING's length is a multiple of 8 then unused_bits is 0. Otherwise unused_bits indicates the number of bits that are to be ignored in the final octet of the +BitString+'s value.

Examples

With the Exception of Krypt::ASN1::EndOfContents and Krypt::ASN1::Null, each Primitive class constructor takes at least one parameter, the value. Since the value of the former two is always nil, they also support a no-arg constructor.

Creating EndOfContents and Null

eoc = Krypt::ASN1::EndOfContents.new null = Krypt::ASN1::Null.new

Creating any other Primitive

prim = .new(value) # being one of the sub-classes except EndOfContents of Null prim_zero_context = .new(value, 0, :CONTEXT_SPECIFIC) prim_zero_private = .new(value, 0, :PRIVATE)

Constructor Details

#new(value, tag, tag_class) ⇒ ASN1Data

  • value: the value to be associated. See Primitive for the mappings between ASN.1 types and Ruby types.
  • tag: a Number representing this value's tag.
  • tag_class: a Symbol representing one of the four valid tag classes :UNIVERSAL, :CONTEXT_SPECIFIC, :APPLICATION or :PRIVATE.

Creates an ASN1Data from scratch.
