It does have some very irritating assertions concerning ASN.1 however, specifically concerning its use in Kerberos. I consider Kerberos's use of ASN.1 to be far superior than the alternative suggested which is pure lossage.

I've heard people associated with the decision to use ASN.1 in Kerberos V say it was a mistake. Frankly, I think ASN.1 is a blight which should be exterminated from the planet. But we agree that the book in question is mostly good... Perry
