F Summary of the ASN.1 notation

Specifies a notation for abstract syntax definition called Abstract Syntax Notation One (ASN.1). Defines a number of simple types, with their tags, and specifies a notation for referencing these types and for specifying values of these types. Defines mechanisms for constructing new types from more basic types, and specifies a notation for defining such structured types and assigning them tags, and for specifying values of these types. Defines character sets (by reference to other International Standards) for use within ASN.1. Defines a number of useful types (using ASN.1), which can be referenced by users of ASN.1.
