The DynamicOSI® ASN.1 SDK for Java is a Standalone platform-independent Abstract Syntax Notation One (ASN.1) Software Development Kit (SDK) that supports the latest ASN.1 standards.
The SDK is a simple Java API and ASN.1 compiler which uses ASN.1 metadata rather than code-generation for ASN.1 data and value access. As such, the overall maintained source code base is smaller (no generated code) and the API allows for dynamic updates to generic mediation and translation applications by simply loading a new ASN.1 metadata file rather than recompiling the application and all of the generic code.
The API provides a 100% Java, fully inter-operable, standard-compliant implementation of the ASN.1 standards including:
- ASN.1 Syntax (X.680)
- Parameterization(X.683), Information Objects(X.681) and Constraints(X.682)
- Basic Encoding Rules (BER) (X.690)
- Distinguished Encoding Rules (DER) (X.690)
- Canonical Encoding Rules (CER) (X.690)
Key Features
Some of the general features of the DynamicOSI® ASN.1 SDK are:
- 100% Java (Java 1.4 SDK or newer, uses no JNI)
- Metadata Based - all ASN.1 definitions accessible through metadata API
- Generic ASN.1 API - consistent easy to use API
- No Code Generation - simpler, smaller application code
- ASN.1 Compiler supports both strict and loose ASN.1 compilation modes
- Fast BER, CER and DER encoding/decoding
- Detailed debug logging available
Some of the specific features of the individual SDK components are:
Code Examples
Below are some examples of ASN.1 files and manipulating the ASN.1 structures using the DynamicOSI® ASN.1 SDK.
Simple ASN.1 Example
This example shows how to create and access the values from most of the common ASN.1 types:
- ASN.1 : SimpleAsn1Example.asn1
- Java : SimpleAsn1Example.java
Parameter ASN.1 Example
This example shows how to work with ASN.1 Parameterized Types:
- ASN.1 : ParameterAsn1Example.asn1
- Java : ParameterAsn1Example.java
Information Object ASN.1 Example
This example shows how to work with ASN.1 Information Objects:
- ASN.1 : InfoObjectAsn1Example.asn1
- Java : InfoObjectAsn1Example.java
