- /* This file defines a function that parses DER with various errors and
- * violations. This is not a part of the library itself, because the allowed
- * violations are chosen arbitrarily and do not follow or establish any
- * standard.
- *
- * In many places it matters that different implementations do not only accept
- * the same set of valid signatures, but also reject the same set of signatures.
- * The only means to accomplish that is by strictly obeying a standard, and not
- * accepting anything else.
- *
- * Nonetheless, sometimes there is a need for compatibility with systems that
- * use signatures which do not strictly obey DER. The snippet below shows how
- * certain violations are easily supported. You may need to adapt it.
- *
- * Do not use this for new systems. Use well-defined DER or compact signatures
- * instead if you have the choice (see secp256k1_ecdsa_signature_parse_der and
- * secp256k1_ecdsa_signature_parse_compact).
- *
- * The supported violations are:
- * - All numbers are parsed as nonnegative integers, even though X.609-0207
- * section 8.3.3 specifies that integers are always encoded as two's
- * complement.
- * - Integers can have length 0, even though section 8.3.1 says they can't.
- * - Integers with overly long padding are accepted, violation section
- * 8.3.2.
- * - 127-byte long length descriptors are accepted, even though section
- * 8.1.3.5.c says that they are not.
- * - Trailing garbage data inside or after the signature is ignored.
- * - The length descriptor of the sequence is ignored.
- *
- * Compared to for example OpenSSL, many violations are NOT supported:
- * - Using overly long tag descriptors for the sequence or integers inside,
- * violating section 8.1.2.2.
- * - Encoding primitive integers as constructed values, violating section
- * 8.3.1.
