ASN.1 Communication Between Heterogeneous Systems

ASN.1, Abstract Syntax Notation Version 1, is a notation that is used in describing messages to be exchanged between communicating application programs. This book is a pure programming tutorial on the fundamentals and features of ASN.1. The purpose of this book is to explain ASN.1 and its encoding rules in easy-to-understand terms. It addresses the subject at both an introductory level that is suitable for beginners, and at a more detailed level that is meant for those who seek a deeper understanding of ASN.1 and the encoding rules.

Follow-up to last years, ASN.1 Complete by John Larmouth. While Larmouth's book is a comprehensive language reference, this book is a practical programming tutorial.
