Hi David, 

First, thanks for your review and comments!

I will move the comment to if-body, thanks!

Yes, using size_t is better, will change it.

Thanks, will change it.

Sorry for my stupid mistake!

It causes by I changed the key_len's value assignment from before check
length of vlen to after, the reason is just want source code "looks
better".

I will fix it, appreciate for your correction!

I will fix the typo, thanks!

Thanks for your suggestion, it's a better style, I will change it.

hm... no, the value of vlen should be equal or bigger then the length of
key id, because the AuthorityKeyIdentifier SEQUENCE may also includes
authorityCertIssuer and authorityCertSerialNumber but not just
keyIdentifier. So, it's possible:

 a. vlen = length of keyIdentifier	(short form)
 b. vlen = length of authorityCertIssuer + length of authorityCertSerialNumber (long form)
 c. vlen = length of keyIdentifier + length of authorityCertIssuer + length of authorityCertSerialNumber (long form)

But, you are right, the first element in AuthorityKeyIdentifier SEQUENCE
maybe is not keyIdentifier, the authorityCertIssuer is also possible the
first element when there have no keyIdentifier.

I will direct remove the comment for avoid the confusing.

Sorry for my stupid mistake again, I will fix it!


Thanks a lot!
