There exists a history of attacks on computer security by sending malformed ASN.1 irritating bugs in ASN.1 encoders. In addition, the ability to specify "infinite" length data has caused buffer overruns. ASN.1 fans my say that these bugs have all been fixed, and they may be right if no new ASN.1 interpreters are written. However, complexity is always a bad thing in a security protocol. Make it only as complex as necessary, and no more complex.
