             Summary: Having a decoartor for each type of encoding, like BER/CER/DER
                 Key: DIRKRB-159
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRKRB-159

          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Kai Zheng


Below is from [~elecharny]'s email, giving the thoughts:

we do the encoding/decoding in the ASN1 type instances.
That's ok, but as soon as we have to deal with various type of encoding
(BER/CER...) this cipple the code with if/else/then. 
What about having a decoartor for each type of encoding ?

Below is [~drankye]'s response in email:

I agree. If we're going to support BER and DER both well or new schemes,
then we need such. It won't introduce API change for the types and is only
for internal encoding/decoding implementation, right ?
Could you have a simple illustration or example, 
say how to do that for the simple Asn1Boolean type ? Thanks.
