Without the comma, please.

There's an unnecessary blank line there.  I would also move the comment inside
the if-body.

I recommend you use an unsigned int or size_t variable.

Also, you should use ASN1_INDEFINITE_LENGTH rather than writing 0x80 and 127.

Are you sure that is correct?  You altered v before doing v[3].  I would stick
with key_len = vlen - 4.

"... octets".

Add 2 to v before entering the loop.

vlen should be exactly equal to key id, shouldn't it?  Leastways, that's what
you're checking...

Again, this doesn't look right.  Besides, you should be able to work out
key_len from vlen, subtracting the metadata size.
