+
+ <p>ASN.1 is a formal language for
+ describing data structures to be exchanged between distributed
+ computer systems. The purpose of ASN.1 is to have a platform
+ and programming language independent notation to express types
+ using a standardized set of rules for the transformation of
+ values of a defined type into a stream of bytes. This stream of
+ bytes can then be sent on any type of communication
+ channel. This way, two applications written in different
+ programming languages running on different computers, and with
+ different internal representation of data, can exchange instances
+ of structured data types.</p>
