1 ASN.1 structure handling
This document describes the Libtasn1 library developed for ASN.1
(Abstract Syntax Notation One) structures management.
The main features of this library are:
- On line ASN1 structure management that doesn't require any
C code file generation.
- Off line ASN1 structure management with C code file generation
containing an array.
- DER (Distinguish Encoding Rules) encoding.
- No limits for INTEGER and ENUMERATED values.
- It's Free Software.
Anybody can use, modify, and redistribute the library under the terms
of the GNU Lesser General Public License.
- It's thread-safe.
No global variables are used and multiple library handles and session
handles may be used in parallel.
- It's portable.
It should work on all Unix like operating systems, including Windows.
The library itself should be portable to any C89 system, not even
POSIX is required.
