[ses@tipper.oit.unc.edu: Re: SDSI syntax]
Simon writes re SDSI syntax:
"BTW, some parts of the example you used looked wierd - some strings were
in quotes, others weren't. If you do go for a sexpr solution it might be
better if you use something directly (read)able."
SDSI allows one to express octet strings in several forms:
tokens: abc
quoted-string: "abc"
hexadecimal: #616263 (starts with sharp sign)
base-64: =YWRj (starts with equals sign)
verbatim: #03:abc (that is, length:value)
decimal: 6382179
These are all equivalent. Parsing is trivial.
Hope this clears up the confusion.
Cheers,
Ron Rivest
