URL: http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc6025.txt
Abstract Syntax Notation One (ASN.1) is widely used throughout the
IETF Security Area and has been for many years. Some specifications
were written using a now deprecated version of ASN.1 and some were
written using the current version of ASN.1. Not all ASN.1 compilers
support both older and current syntax. This document is intended to
provide guidance to specification authors and to implementers
converting ASN.1 modules from one version of ASN.1 to another version
without causing changes to the "bits on the wire". This document
does not provide a comprehensive tutorial of any version of ASN.1.
Instead, it addresses ASN.1 features that are used in IETF Security
Area specifications with a focus on items that vary with the ASN.1
version. This document is not an Internet Standards Track
specification; it is published for informational purposes.
This document is a product of the Public-Key Infrastructure (X.509) Working
Group of the IETF.
INFORMATIONAL: This memo provides information for the Internet community.
It does not specify an Internet standard of any kind. Distribution of
this memo is unlimited.
