Additional Octet String in Bouncycastle signed data message

I am creating a CSCA Master list signed data but after successful creation of it, I see two Octet String instead of one in signed message. Please check the source code and output files

CMS using BC

Correction! While there is a difference in the way PKCS7 and CMS are created, as per comment the difference here is that Bouncy used 'constructed' encoding (with indefinite length, although that is less important here), see wikipedia. A 'constructed' item in ASN.1 has one tag-length prefix for the item and additional tag-length prefix(es) for one or more element(s) that make up the value of the constructed item.

If we look at the actual bytes at offset 49 (in hex), we find

24 80 -- tag for OCTET STRING _constructed_, length indefinite
-- a constructed item contains (consists of) one or more following elements
04 82 02 B6 -- tag for OCTET STRING _primitive_, length 02B6
-- this is the only element within the constructed item

and at 49+6+0x2b6=749 we find 00 00 which is 'end of contents', terminating the constructed item. Thus the outer, constructed OCTET STRING actually consists of the one element which is a primitive OCTET STRING.

At a guess, Bouncy uses constructed+indefinite for the content and encapContentInfo, and the outer SignedData containing them, to allow them to be larger than fits in memory -- what in crypto is often called 'online' (a weird term for it) or a bit more sensibly 'streaming'. But it also uses this for the certificates and signerInfos components, which never have this issue -- maybe just for convenience?

The sun classes presumably didn't do this, although you didn't post the data to confirm (or the code used which could be looked at).

This is actually BER for two reasons; DER does not allow either constructed OCTET STRING or indefinite length.

(original but inapplicable answer for reference)

This is a small and easily missed difference between PKCS7 (the RSALabs original) and CMS (its IETFized successor). It was actually introduced in RFC 2630 in 1999, but not clearly documented until RFC 3369 sec 5.2.1 in 2002. Note that version (the Integer at beginning of SignedData, which is the outer Context-0 EXPLICIT SEQUENCE) also differs; in the Bouncy-created CMS version it is 3, while in the sun (for which you don't show the source, but is apparently PKCS7) it is 1. PKCS7 only defined version up to 1, so any (structure with) version > 1 must be CMS.
