NAME

       libtasn1 - a library for Abstract Syntax Notation One (ASN.1)

DESCRIPTION

       libtasn1 is a library for Abstract Syntax Notation One (ASN.1) and Distinguish Encoding Rules (DER) manipulation.

       The main features of this library are:

	 o  On line ASN.1 structure management that does not require any C code file generation.

	 o  Off line ASN.1 structure management with C code file generation containing an array

	 o  DER (Distinguish Encoding Rules) encoding

	 o  No limits for INTEGER and ENUMERATED values

	 o  It is thread-safe. No global variables are used and multiple library handles and session handles may be used in parallel

	 o  It is portable. It should work on all UNIX-like operating systems, including Windows. The library itself should be portable to any C89
	    system, not even POSIX is required
