Re: Proper way to represent a NULL (no entries) CRL?

1993-06-25 01:06:00
I would think that either an empty SEQUENCE OF CRLEntry or no
revokedCertificates would be valid but a NULL is not.

That's what I thought. And if both encodings (absent or empty 
SEQUENCE) are valid, we have a DER problem. I think this is
not a problem of the particular definition of the CRL. It
is an ASN.1 DER problem where the encoding of OPTIONAL fields
in general remains unclear.
