ASN.1 (Abstract Syntax Notation One)

ASN.1 (Abstract Syntax Notation One) is a standardized way to describe, encode, and decode complex data structures for communication between systems. It provides a flexible and precise method to define data formats, ensuring that different computers and software can understand and exchange information consistently. Used in applications like security certificates, network protocols, and telecommunications, ASN.1 helps ensure data integrity and interoperability across diverse platforms by specifying how data should be structured and represented during transmission.
