Well, it is an IA5String containing obviously data encoded as hex-digits. I ordered a certificate with date of birth and other things included and assume that the data is in there. But Verisign refuses to explain. Not only I think that a CA should play an open game here. In Germany the inclusion of undocumented and unreadable data about a person in a public document like this would be illegal. We had those discussions and appropriate legislation and jurisdiction in Germany when introducing a computer-readable ID-Card and a health insurance card. The cardholder has to be informed about every information that is stored computer-readable on the card, as he has a "right to know" which information he is giving away by presenting the card to someone else.

Looking at the ASN.1 would help. This kind of thing is generally ignored in client's using the cert (i.e., browsers). The support people probably have no clue, so I'm not surprised they could not give an answer.
