Description
ASN.1 Complete teaches you everything you need to know about ASN.1-whether you're specifying a new protocol or implementing
an existing one in a software or hardware development project. Inside, the author begins with an overview of ASN.1's most commonly encountered
features, detailing and illustrating standard techniques for using them. He then goes on to apply the same practice-oriented approach
to all of the notation's other features, providing you with an easy-to-navigate, truly comprehensive tutorial.
The book also includes
thorough documentation of both the Basic and the Packed Encoding Rules-indispensable coverage for anyone doing hand-encoding, and a valuable
resource for anyone wanting a deeper understanding of how ASN.1 and ASN.1 tools work. The concluding section takes up the history of
ASN.1, in terms of both the evolution of the notation itself and the role it has played in hundreds of protocols and thousands of applications
developed since its inception.
