ASN.1 Complete

ASN.1 is a pervasive formal notation used to specify many protocols that allow different programs and devices -- including cellular phones and PDAs -- to communicate with one another. It is also widely used by the developers who implement these standards in software and chip-embedded programs. ASN.1 Complete teaches readers everything they need to know to use ASN.1 -- whether for specifying a new protocol or implementing and existing one in a software or hardware development project. The author begins with an overview of ASN.1's most common 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, as well as commercial ASN.1 tools, providing and easy-to-navigate, truly comprehensive tutorial.
