Struct rocket::mtls::oid::asn1_rs::Sequence

pub struct Sequence<'a> {
    pub content: Cow<'a, [u8]>,
}

Available on crate feature mtls only.

The SEQUENCE object is an ordered list of heteregeneous types.

Sequences can usually be of 2 types:

• a list of different objects (SEQUENCE, usually parsed as a struct)
• a list of similar objects (SEQUENCE OF, usually parsed as a Vec<T>)

The current object covers the former. For the latter, see the SequenceOf documentation.

The Sequence object contains the (unparsed) encoded representation of its content. It provides methods to parse and iterate contained objects, or convert the sequence to other types.

Building a Sequence

To build a DER sequence:

• if the sequence is composed of objects of the same type, the Sequence::from_iter_to_der method can be used
• otherwise, the ToDer trait can be used to create content incrementally

use asn1_rs::{Integer, Sequence, SerializeResult, ToDer};

fn build_seq<'a>() -> SerializeResult<Sequence<'a>> {
    let mut v = Vec::new();
    // add an Integer object (construct type):
    let i = Integer::from_u32(4);
    let _ = i.write_der(&mut v)?;
    // some primitive objects also implement `ToDer`. A string will be mapped as `Utf8String`:
    let _ = "abcd".write_der(&mut v)?;
    // return the sequence built from the DER content
    Ok(Sequence::new(v.into()))
}

let seq = build_seq().unwrap();

Examples

use asn1_rs::Sequence;

// build sequence
let it = [2, 3, 4].iter();
let seq = Sequence::from_iter_to_der(it).unwrap();

// `seq` now contains the serialized DER representation of the array

// iterate objects
let mut sum = 0;
for item in seq.der_iter::<u32>() {
    // item has type `Result<u32>`, since parsing the serialized bytes could fail
    sum += item.expect("parsing list item failed");
}
assert_eq!(sum, 9);

Note: the above example encodes a SEQUENCE OF INTEGER object, the SequenceOf object could be used to provide a simpler API.

Fields

content: Cow<'a, [u8]>

Serialized DER representation of the sequence content

Implementations

impl<'a> Sequence<'a>

pub const fn new(content: Cow<'a, [u8]>) -> Sequence<'a>

Build a sequence, given the provided content

pub fn into_content(self) -> Cow<'a, [u8]>

Consume the sequence and return the content

pub fn and_then<U, F>(self, op: F) -> Result<(&'a [u8], U), Err<Error>>

where F: FnOnce(Cow<'a, [u8]>) -> Result<(&'a [u8], U), Err<Error>>,

Apply the parsing function to the sequence content, consuming the sequence

Note: this function expects the caller to take ownership of content. In some cases, handling the lifetime of objects is not easy (when keeping only references on data). Other methods are provided (depending on the use case):

• Sequence::parse takes a reference on the sequence data, but does not consume it,
• Sequence::from_der_and_then does the parsing of the sequence and applying the function in one step, ensuring there are only references (and dropping the temporary sequence).

pub fn from_ber_and_then<U, F>( bytes: &'a [u8], op: F, ) -> Result<(&'a [u8], U), Err<Error>>

where F: FnOnce(&'a [u8]) -> Result<(&'a [u8], U), Err<Error>>,

Same as Sequence::from_der_and_then, but using BER encoding (no constraints).

pub fn from_der_and_then<U, F>( bytes: &'a [u8], op: F, ) -> Result<(&'a [u8], U), Err<Error>>

where F: FnOnce(&'a [u8]) -> Result<(&'a [u8], U), Err<Error>>,

Parse a DER sequence and apply the provided parsing function to content

After parsing, the sequence object and header are discarded.

use asn1_rs::{FromDer, ParseResult, Sequence};

// Parse a SEQUENCE {
//      a INTEGER (0..255),
//      b INTEGER (0..4294967296)
// }
// and return only `(a,b)
fn parser(i: &[u8]) -> ParseResult<(u8, u32)> {
    Sequence::from_der_and_then(i, |i| {
            let (i, a) = u8::from_der(i)?;
            let (i, b) = u32::from_der(i)?;
            Ok((i, (a, b)))
        }
    )
}

pub fn parse<F, T>(&'a self, f: F) -> Result<(&'a [u8], T), Err<Error>>

where F: FnMut(&'a [u8]) -> Result<(&'a [u8], T), Err<Error>>,

Apply the parsing function to the sequence content (non-consuming version)

pub fn parse_into<F, T>(self, f: F) -> Result<(&'a [u8], T), Err<Error>>

where F: FnMut(&'a [u8]) -> Result<(&'a [u8], T), Err<Error>>,

Apply the parsing function to the sequence content (consuming version)

Note: to parse and apply a parsing function in one step, use the Sequence::from_der_and_then method.

Limitations

This function fails if the sequence contains Owned data, because the parsing function takes a reference on data (which is dropped).

pub fn ber_iter<T>(&'a self) -> SequenceIterator<'a, T, BerParser>

where T: FromBer<'a>,

Return an iterator over the sequence content, attempting to decode objects as BER

This method can be used when all objects from the sequence have the same type.

pub fn der_iter<T>(&'a self) -> SequenceIterator<'a, T, DerParser>

where T: FromDer<'a>,

Return an iterator over the sequence content, attempting to decode objects as DER

This method can be used when all objects from the sequence have the same type.

pub fn ber_sequence_of<T>(&'a self) -> Result<Vec<T>, Error>

where T: FromBer<'a>,

Attempt to parse the sequence as a SEQUENCE OF items (BER), and return the parsed items as a Vec.

pub fn der_sequence_of<T>(&'a self) -> Result<Vec<T>, Error>

where T: FromDer<'a>,

Attempt to parse the sequence as a SEQUENCE OF items (DER), and return the parsed items as a Vec.

pub fn into_ber_sequence_of<T, U>(self) -> Result<Vec<T>, Error>

where T: for<'b> FromBer<'b> + ToStatic<Owned = T>,

Attempt to parse the sequence as a SEQUENCE OF items (BER) (consuming input), and return the parsed items as a Vec.

Note: if Self is an Owned object, the data will be duplicated (causing allocations) into separate objects.

pub fn into_der_sequence_of<T, U>(self) -> Result<Vec<T>, Error>

where T: for<'b> FromDer<'b> + ToStatic<Owned = T>,

Attempt to parse the sequence as a SEQUENCE OF items (DER) (consuming input), and return the parsed items as a Vec.

Note: if Self is an Owned object, the data will be duplicated (causing allocations) into separate objects.

impl<'a> Sequence<'a>

pub fn from_iter_to_der<T, IT>(it: IT) -> Result<Sequence<'a>, SerializeError>

where IT: Iterator<Item = T>, T: ToDer + Tagged,

Attempt to create a Sequence from an iterator over serializable objects (to DER)

Examples

use asn1_rs::Sequence;

// build sequence
let it = [2, 3, 4].iter();
let seq = Sequence::from_iter_to_der(it).unwrap();
