The syntax defines such elements as: the # representations for basic data types, the structure of length # information, and the means for defining complex or compound types based # on more primitive types. The BER syntax, along with two subsets of BER # (the Canonical Encoding Rules and the Distinguished Encoding Rules), are # defined by the ITU-T's X.690 standards document, which is part of the # ASN.1 document series. # # == Encoding # The BER format specifies a self-describing and self-delimiting format # for encoding ASN.1 data structures. Each data element is encoded as a # type identifier, a length description, the actual data elements, and # where necessary, an end-of-content marker. This format allows a receiver # to decode the ASN.1 information from an incomplete stream, without # requiring any pre-knowledge of the size, content, or semantic meaning of # the data. # # # # == Protocol Data Units (PDU) # Protocols are defined with schema represented in BER, such that a PDU # consists of cascaded type-length-value encodings. # # === Type Tags # BER type tags are represented as single octets (bytes). The lower five # bits of the octet are tag identifier numbers and the upper three bits of # the octet are used to distinguish the type as native to ASN.1, # application-specific, context-specific, or private. See # Net::BER::TAG_CLASS and Net::BER::ENCODING_TYPE for more information. # # If Class is set to Universal (0b00______), the value is of a type native # to ASN.1 (e.g. INTEGER). The Application class (0b01______) is only # valid for one specific application. Context_specific (0b10______) # depends on the context and private (0b11_______) can be defined in # private specifications # # If the primitive/constructed bit is zero (0b__0_____), it specifies that # the value is primitive like an INTEGER. If it is one (0b__1_____), the # value is a constructed value that contains type-length-value encoded # types like a SET or a SEQUENCE. # # === Defined Universal (ASN.1 Native) Types # There are a number of pre-defined universal (native) types. # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # #
