readAsn1Element

Reads an ASN.1 element from the source up to the specified byte limit.

Return

A pair consisting of the parsed ASN.1 element and the number of bytes consumed.

Parameters

limit

The maximum allowed total number of encoded DER bytes to consume. This limit is enforced before reading or peeking from the underlying source.

Throws

if the input does not parse or if it exceeds the specified limit. This includes length encoding indicating a length greater than limit, even if this is malformed and exceeds the number of bytes left in the source.
