If I defined an X.509 v3 extension:
foo EXTENSION ::= {
SYNTAX BOOLEAN : FALSE
IDENTIFIED BY id-foo
}
The DER-coding of a "false" boolean value for the extension
would presumably not exist in the byte stream, under DER
default coding rules.
That is, the octet-string of the extension identified
by id-foo would have no content octets, and thus be of
length 0.
Anyone disagree?
