79 |
|

80 |
|
|
By default this module doesn't export any symbols, but if you don't want |
81 |
root |
1.23 |
to break your keyboard, editor or eyesight with extremely long names, I |
82 |
root |
1.19 |
recommend importing the C<:all> tag. Still, you can selectively import |
83 |
root |
1.21 |
things. |

=head2 ASN.1/BER/DER/... BASICS |
156 |
|
|
|
157 |
root |
1.15 |
ASN.1 is a strange language that can be used to describe protocols and |
158 |
root |
1.4 |
data structures. It supports various mappings to JSON, XML, but most |
159 |
|
|
importantly, to a various binary encodings such as BER, that is the topic |
160 |
root |
1.27 |
of this module, and is used in SNMP, LDAP or X.509 for example. |
161 |
root |
1.4 |
|
162 |
|
|
While ASN.1 defines a schema that is useful to interpret encoded data, |
163 |
root |
1.12 |
the BER encoding is actually somewhat self-describing: you might not know |
164 |
root |
1.4 |
whether something is a string or a number or a sequence or something else, |
165 |
|
|
but you can nevertheless decode the overall structure, even if you end up |
166 |
|
|
with just a binary blob for the actual value. |
167 |
|
|
|
168 |
|
|
This works because BER values are tagged with a type and a namespace, |
169 |
root |
1.15 |
and also have a flag that says whether a value consists of subvalues (is |
170 |
root |
1.4 |
"constructed") or not (is "primitive"). |
171 |
|
|
|
172 |
root |
1.25 |
Tags are simple integers, and ASN.1 defines a somewhat weird assortment |
173 |
|
|
of those - for example, you have one integers and 16(!) different |
174 |
root |
1.23 |
string types, but there is no Unsigned32 type for example. Different |
175 |
root |
1.4 |
applications work around this in different ways, for example, SNMP defines |
176 |
|
|
application-specific Gauge32, Counter32 and Unsigned32, which are mapped |
177 |
|
|
to two different tags: you can distinguish between Counter32 and the |
178 |
|
|
others, but not between Gause32 and Unsigned32, without the ASN.1 schema. |
179 |
|
|
|
180 |
|
|
Ugh. |
181 |
|
|
|
182 |
|
|
=head2 DECODED BER REPRESENTATION |
183 |
|
|
|
184 |
|
|
This module represents every BER value as a 4-element tuple (actually an |
185 |
|
|
array-reference): |
186 |
|
|
|
187 |
|
|
[CLASS, TAG, CONSTRUCTED, DATA] |
188 |
|
|
|
189 |
root |
1.23 |
For example: |
190 |
|
|
|
191 |
root |
1.25 |
[ASN_UNIVERSAL, ASN_INTEGER, 0, 177] # the integer 177 |
192 |
root |
1.23 |
[ASN_UNIVERSAL, ASN_OCTET_STRING, 0, "john"] # the string "john" |
193 |
|
|
[ASN_UNIVERSAL, ASN_OID, 0, "1.3.6.133"] # some OID |
194 |
root |
1.24 |
[ASN_UNIVERSAL, ASN_SEQUENCE, 1, [ [ASN_UNIVERSAL... # a sequence |
195 |
root |
1.23 |
|
196 |
root |
1.6 |
To avoid non-descriptive hardcoded array index numbers, this module |
197 |
|
|
defines symbolic constants to access these members: C<BER_CLASS>, |
198 |
|
|
C<BER_TAG>, C<BER_CONSTRUCTED> and C<BER_DATA>. |
199 |
|
|
|
200 |
|
|
Also, the first three members are integers with a little caveat: for |
201 |
|
|
performance reasons, these are readonly and shared, so you must not modify |
202 |
|
|
them (increment, assign to them etc.) in any way. You may modify the |
203 |
|
|
I<DATA> member, and you may re-assign the array itself, e.g.: |
204 |
|
|
|
205 |
|
|
$ber = ber_decode $binbuf; |
206 |
|
|
|
207 |
|
|
# the following is NOT legal: |
208 |
root |
1.10 |
$ber->[BER_CLASS] = ASN_PRIVATE; # ERROR, CLASS/TAG/CONSTRUCTED are READ ONLY(!) |
209 |
root |
1.6 |
|
210 |
|
|
# but all of the following are fine: |
211 |
|
|
$ber->[BER_DATA] = "string"; |
212 |
root |
1.25 |
$ber->[BER_DATA] = [ASN_UNIVERSAL, ASN_INTEGER, 0, 123]; |
213 |
root |
1.11 |
@$ber = (ASN_APPLICATION, SNMP_TIMETICKS, 0, 1000); |
214 |
root |
1.6 |
|
215 |
root |
1.4 |
I<CLASS> is something like a namespace for I<TAG>s - there is the |
216 |
|
|
C<ASN_UNIVERSAL> namespace which defines tags common to all ASN.1 |
217 |
|
|
implementations, the C<ASN_APPLICATION> namespace which defines tags for |
218 |
|
|
specific applications (for example, the SNMP C<Unsigned32> type is in this |
219 |
|
|
namespace), a special-purpose context namespace (C<ASN_CONTEXT>, used e.g. |
220 |
|
|
for C<CHOICE>) and a private namespace (C<ASN_PRIVATE>). |
221 |
|
|
|
222 |
|
|
The meaning of the I<TAG> depends on the namespace, and defines a |
223 |
root |
1.24 |
(partial) interpretation of the data value. For example, SNMP defines |
224 |
|
|
extra tags in the C<ASN_APPLICATION> namespace, and to take full advantage |
225 |
|
|
of these, you need to tell this module how to handle those via profiles. |
226 |
root |
1.4 |
|
227 |
|
|
The most common tags in the C<ASN_UNIVERSAL> namespace are |
228 |
root |
1.25 |
C<ASN_INTEGER>, C<ASN_BIT_STRING>, C<ASN_NULL>, C<ASN_OCTET_STRING>, |
229 |
root |
1.4 |
C<ASN_OBJECT_IDENTIFIER>, C<ASN_SEQUENCE>, C<ASN_SET> and |
230 |
|
|
C<ASN_IA5_STRING>. |
231 |
|
|
|
232 |
root |
1.24 |
The most common tags in SNMP's C<ASN_APPLICATION> namespace are |
233 |
|
|
C<SNMP_COUNTER32>, C<SNMP_UNSIGNED32>, C<SNMP_TIMETICKS> and |
234 |
|
|
C<SNMP_COUNTER64>. |
235 |
root |
1.4 |
|
236 |
root |
1.24 |
The I<CONSTRUCTED> flag is really just a boolean - if it is false, |
237 |
root |
1.4 |
the value is "primitive" and contains no subvalues, kind of like a |
238 |
root |
1.24 |
non-reference perl scalar. If it is true, then the value is "constructed" |
239 |
root |
1.4 |
which just means it contains a list of subvalues which this module will |
240 |
|
|
en-/decode as BER tuples themselves. |
241 |
|
|
|
242 |
|
|
The I<DATA> value is either a reference to an array of further tuples (if |
243 |
|
|
the value is I<CONSTRUCTED>), some decoded representation of the value, |
244 |
|
|
if this module knows how to decode it (e.g. for the integer types above) |
245 |
|
|
or a binary string with the raw octets if this module doesn't know how to |
246 |
|
|
interpret the namespace/tag. |
247 |
|
|
|
248 |
|
|
Thus, you can always decode a BER data structure and at worst you get a |
249 |
|
|
string in place of some nice decoded value. |
250 |
|
|
|
251 |
|
|
See the SYNOPSIS for an example of such an encoded tuple representation. |

Decodes binary BER data in C<$bindata> and returns the resulting BER |
260 |

tuple. Croaks on any decoding error, so the returned C<$tuple> is always |

valid. |
262 |

How tags are interpreted is defined by the second argument, which must |
264 |
|
|
be a C<Convert::BER::XS::Profile> object. If it is missing, the default |
265 |
|
|
profile will be used (C<$Convert::BER::XS::DEFAULT_PROFILE>). |
266 |
|
|
|
267 |

In addition to rolling your own, this module provides a |
268 |
|
|
C<$Convert::BER::XS::SNMP_PROFILE> that knows about the additional SNMP |
269 |
|
|
types. |
270 |
root |

Example: decode a BER blob using the default profile - SNMP values will be |

These functions accept a BER tuple as first argument and either partially |
296 |
root |
1.6 |
or fully match it. They often come in two forms, one which exactly matches |
297 |
|
|
a value, and one which only matches the type and returns the value. |
298 |
|
|
|
299 |
|
|
They do check whether valid tuples are passed in and croak otherwise. As |
300 |
|
|
a ease-of-use exception, they usually also accept C<undef> instead of a |
301 |
root |
1.24 |
tuple reference, in which case they silently fail to match. |

This takes a BER C<$tuple> and matches its elements against the provided |
308 |
root |
1.6 |
values, all of which are optional - values that are either missing or |
309 |
|
|
C<undef> will be ignored, the others will be matched exactly (e.g. as if |
310 |
|
|
you used C<==> or C<eq> (for C<$data>)). |

Returns the sequence members (the array of subvalues) if the C<$tuple> is |
326 |
|

an ASN SEQUENCE, i.e. the C<BER_DATA> member. If the C<$tuple> is not a |
327 |

|
|
While any BER data can be correctly encoded and decoded out of the box, it |
439 |
|
|
can be inconvenient to have to manually decode some values into a "better" |
440 |
|
|
format: for instance, SNMP TimeTicks values are decoded into the raw octet |
441 |
|
|
strings of their BER representation, which is quite hard to decode. With |
442 |
|
|
profiles, you can change which class/tag combinations map to which decoder |
443 |
|
|
function inside C<ber_decode> (and of course also which encoder functions |
444 |
|
|
are used in C<ber_encode>). |
445 |
|
|
|
446 |
|
|
This works by mapping specific class/tag combinations to an internal "ber |
447 |
|
|
type". |
448 |
|
|
|
449 |
|
|
The default profile supports the standard ASN.1 types, but no |
450 |
|
|
application-specific ones. This means that class/tag combinations not in |
451 |
|
|
the base set of ASN.1 are decoded into their raw octet strings. |
452 |
|
|
|
453 |
root |
1.15 |
C<Convert::BER::XS> defines two profile variables you can use out of the box: |

|

|
|
457 |
|
|
=item C<$Convert::BER::XS::DEFAULT_PROFILE> |
458 |
|
|
|
459 |
|
|
This is the default profile, i.e. the profile that is used when no |
460 |
|
|
profile is specified for de-/encoding. |
461 |
|
|
|
462 |
root |
1.15 |
You can modify it, but remember that this modifies the defaults for all |
463 |
|
|
callers that rely on the default profile. |
464 |
root |
1.13 |
|
465 |
|
|
=item C<$Convert::BER::XS::SNMP_PROFILE> |
466 |
|
|
|
467 |
|
|
A profile with mappings for SNMP-specific application tags added. This is |
468 |
|
|
useful when de-/encoding SNMP data. |
469 |

Sets the mapping for the given C<$class>/C<$tag> combination to C<$type>, |
488 |

|
which must be one of the C<BER_TYPE_*> constants. |
489 |
|
|
|
490 |
|
|
Note that currently, the mapping is stored in a flat array, so large |
491 |

values of C<$tag> will consume large amounts of memory. |

The raw octets of the value. This is the default type for unknown tags and |

de-/encodes the value as if it were an octet string, i.e. by copying the |

raw bytes. |

518 |
|
|
=item C<BER_TYPE_UTF8> |

|
|
520 |
|
|
Like C<BER_TYPE_BYTES>, but decodes the value as if it were a UTF-8 string |
521 |
|
|
(without validation!) and encodes a perl unicode string into a UTF-8 BER |
522 |
|

string. |

=item C<BER_TYPE_OID> |
540 |
|
|

541 |

Encodes and decodes an OBJECT IDENTIFIER into dotted form without leading |

dot, e.g. C<1.3.6.1.213>. |

=item C<BER_TYPE_RELOID> |
545 |
|
|
|
546 |
root |
1.15 |
Same as C<BER_TYPE_OID> but uses relative object identifier |
547 |
|
|
encoding: ASN.1 has this hack of encoding the first two OID components |
548 |
|
|
into a single integer in a weird attempt to save an insignificant amount |
549 |
|
|
of space in an otherwise wasteful encoding, and relative OIDs are |
550 |
|
|
basically OIDs without this hack. The practical difference is that the |
551 |
|
|
second component of an OID can only have the values 1..40, while relative |
552 |
|
|
OIDs do not have this restriction. |

570 |
root |
1.15 |
Decodes/encodes a four byte string into an IPv4 dotted-quad address string |
571 |
|
|
in Perl. Given the obsolete nature of this type, this is a low-effort |
572 |
root |
1.13 |
implementation that simply uses C<sprintf> and C<sscanf>-style conversion, |
573 |
root |
1.15 |
so it won't handle all string forms supported by C<inet_aton> for example. |

Always croaks when encountered during encoding or decoding - the |

default behaviour when encountering an unknown type is to treat it as |
579 |

|
C<BER_TYPE_BYTES>. When you don't want that but instead prefer a hard |
