Is there a free package for reading, manipulating and writing ASN.1 in Java?

Is there a free package for reading, manipulating and writing ASN.1 in Java?

It must be:

  1. Free
  2. Lightweight
  3. Self-contained (without external dependencies on, e.g. Apache commons)
  4. Java 5 (not Java 6), and Java 4 is preferred.
Solution

  • The following project looks promising:

    http://www.chaosinmotion.com/wiki/index.php?title=ASN.1_Library

    It is provided under a liberal BSD-style licence.

    It is small, 41 classes compiling to 55KiB.

    It compiled clean with no dependencies to Java 3.
