+// ASN.1 is a syntax for specifying abstract objects and BER, DER, PER, XER etc
+// are different encoding formats for those objects. Here, we'll be dealing
+// with DER, the Distinguished Encoding Rules. DER is used in X.509 because
+// it's fast to parse and, unlike BER, has a unique encoding for every object.
+// When calculating hashes over objects, it's important that the resulting
+// bytes be the same at both ends and DER removes this margin of error.
+//
+// ASN.1 is very complex and this package doesn't attempt to implement
