+PyASN1 reference manual

+</p>

+<p>

+Free and open-source pyasn1 library makes it easier for programmers and

+network engineers to develop, debug and experiment with ASN.1-based protocols

+using Python programming language as a tool.

+</p>

+<p>

+Abstract Syntax Notation One

+(<a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abstract_Syntax_Notation_1x>ASN.1</a>)

+is a set of

+<a href=http://www.itu.int/ITU-T/studygroups/com17/languages/X.680-X.693-0207w.zip>

+ITU standards</a> concered with provisioning instrumentation for developing

+data exchange protocols in a robust, clear and interoperabable way for

+various IT systems and applications. Most of the efforts are targeting the

+following areas:

+<ul>

+<li>Data structures: the standard introduces a collection of basic data types

+(similar to integers, bits, strings, arrays and records in a programming

+language) that can be used for defining complex, possibly nested data

+structures representing domain-specific data units.

+<li>Serialization protocols: domain-specific data units expressed in ASN.1

+types could be converted into a series of octets for storage or transmission

+over the wire and then recovered back into their structured form on the

+receiving end. This process is immune to various hardware and software

+related dependencies.

+<li>Data description language: could be used to describe particular set of

+domain-specific data structures and their relationships. Such a description

+could be passed to an ASN.1 compiler for automated generation of program

+code that represents ASN.1 data structures in language-native environment

+and handles data serialization issues.

+</ul>

+</p>

+<p>

+This tutorial and algorithms, implemented by pyasn1 library, are

+largely based on the information read in the book

+<a href="http://www.oss.com/asn1/dubuisson.html">

+ASN.1 - Communication between heterogeneous systems</a>

+by Olivier Dubuisson. Another relevant resource is

+<a href=ftp://ftp.rsasecurity.com/pub/pkcs/ascii/layman.asc>

+A Layman's Guide to a Subset of ASN.1, BER, and DER</a> by Burton S. Kaliski.

+It's advised to refer to these books for more in-depth knowledge on the

+subject of ASN.1.

+</p>

+<p>

+As of this writing, pyasn1 library implements most of standard ASN.1 data

+structures in a rather detailed and feature-rich manner. Another highly

+important capability of the library is its data serialization facilities.

+The last component of the standard - ASN.1 compiler is planned for

+implementation in the future.

+</p>

+The pyasn1 library was designed to follow the pre-1995 ASN.1 specification

+(also known as X.208). Later, post 1995, revision (X.680) introduced

+significant changes most of which have not yet been supported by pyasn1.

+<p>

+Although pyasn1 software is almost a decade old and used in many production

+environments, it still may have bugs and non-implemented pieces. Anyone

+who happens to run into such defect is welcome to complain to

+<a href=mailto:pyasn1-users@lists.sourceforge.net>pyasn1 mailing list</a>

+or better yet fix the issue and send

+<a href=mailto:ilya@glas.net>me</a> the patch.

+</p>

+<p>

+Typically, pyasn1 is used for building arbitrary protocol support into

+various applications. This involves manual translation of ASN.1 data

+structures into their pyasn1 implementations. To save time and effort,

+data structures for some of the popular protocols are pre-programmed

+and kept for further re-use in form of the

+<a href=http://sourceforge.net/projects/pyasn1/files/pyasn1-modules/>

+pyasn1-modules package</a>. For instance, many structures for PKI (X.509,

+PKCS#*, CRMF, OCSP), LDAP and SNMP are present.

+Applications authors are advised to import and use relevant modules

+from that package whenever needed protocol structures are already

+there. New protocol modules contributions are welcome.

+</p>

+<p>

+And finally, the latest pyasn1 package revision is available for free

+download from

+<a href=http://sourceforge.net/projects/pyasn1/>project home</a> and

+also from the

+<a href=http://pypi.python.org/pypi>Python package repository</a>.
