> There is an unintentional dead code in writeTag method of org.wildfly.security.asn1.DEREncoder. Variable {{tagNumber}} can be assigned to 31 as its maximal value from {{int tagNumber = tag & TAG_NUMBER_MASK;}} (because {{TAG_NUMBER_MASK = 0x1f}}) on line 576 [1] which means that condition {{if (tagNumber < 128)}} on line 582 is always true. It causes that else branch is never executed.
