What is Abstract Syntax Notation One?
In telecommunications and computer networks, Abstract Syntax Notation One (ASN.1) is a standard but extensible language that describes how data is represented, encoded, transmitted, received, and read.
ASN.1 emerged as part of the CCITT X.409:1984 standard by ISO and ITU-T in 1984. Due to its applicability, it obtained its own standard (X.208) in 1988. It was revised again in 1995 and published as X.680.
