ASN.1 COMPLETE
by John Larmouth
Morgan Kaufmann Publishers, October 1999, ISBN: 0-12233-435-3

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.

FEATURES
- Covers all the features-common and not so common-available to you when
writing a protocol specification using ASN.1.
- Teaches you to read, understand, and implement a specification written
using ASN.1.
- Explains how ASN.1 tools work and how to use them.
- Contains hundreds of detailed examples, all verified using OSS's ASN.1
Tools package.
- Considers ASN.1 in relation to other protocol specification standards.
