I receive valid CMS EncryptedContentInfo bytes, which I call encrypted_content_info. From the EncryptedContentInfo, I can get the encrypted algorithm with encrypted_content_info['content_encryption_algorithm']. However, there is an error when extracting the EncryptedContent from encrypted_content_info. The error is:
encrypted_content_bytes = encrypted_content_info['encrypted_content']

ValueError: Error parsing asn1crypto.core.OctetString - method should have been primitive, but constructed was found
while parsing asn1crypto.cms.EncryptedContentInfo
When I take the EncryptedContentInfo, write it to file and use openssl asn1parse to parse it as follows:
openssl asn1parse -inform der -in encrypted_content_info.ber,
the encrypted content can be successfully extracted. If I take the encrypted content obtained from openssl asn1parse, I can then decrypt it successfully etc. This means there is a problem with the way asn1crypto parses this CMS. This seems like a bug with the package.
Is there another way this content should be extracted using asn1crypto? Is there a fix for this problem? Please assist.
Some additional info is that the ContentType of the EncryptedContentInfo is simply data and the error persists in asn1crypto Version 1.5.1 as well as older versions, such as 1.2.1.
