Description

Interface Summary

ASN1BitStringParser	A basic parser for a BIT STRING object
ASN1Choice	Marker interface for CHOICE objects - if you implement this in a role your own object any attempt to tag the object implicitly will convert the tag to an explicit one as the encoding rules require.
ASN1Encodable	Basic interface to produce serialisers for ASN.1 encodings.
ASN1Encoding	Supported encoding formats.
ASN1ExternalParser	Parser DER EXTERNAL tagged objects.
ASN1OctetStringParser	A basic parser for an OCTET STRING object
ASN1SequenceParser	A basic parser for a SEQUENCE object
ASN1SetParser	A basic parser for a SET object
ASN1String	General interface implemented by ASN.1 STRING objects for extracting the content String.
ASN1TaggedObjectParser	Interface for the parsing of a generic tagged ASN.1 object.
BERTags
InMemoryRepresentable	Interface implemented by objects that can be converted from streaming to in-memory objects.

ASN1GraphicString
ASN1IA5String	ASN.1 IA5String object - this is a ISO 646 (ASCII) string encoding code points 0 to 127.
ASN1InputStream	A general purpose ASN.1 decoder - note: this class differs from the others in that it returns null after it has read the last object in the stream.
ASN1Integer	Class representing the ASN.1 INTEGER type.
ASN1Null	A NULL object - use DERNull.INSTANCE for populating structures.
ASN1NumericString	NumericString object - this is an ascii string of characters {0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9, }.
ASN1Object	Base class for defining an ASN.1 object.
ASN1ObjectDescriptor
ASN1ObjectIdentifier	Class representing the ASN.1 OBJECT IDENTIFIER type.
ASN1OctetString	Abstract base for the ASN.1 OCTET STRING data type This supports BER, and DER forms of the data.
ASN1OutputStream	Stream that produces output based on the default encoding for the passed in objects.

ASN1RelativeOID
ASN1Sequence	ASN.1 SEQUENCE and SEQUENCE OF constructs.
ASN1Set	ASN.1 SET and SET OF constructs.
ASN1StreamParser	A parser for ASN.1 streams which also returns, where possible, parsers for the objects it encounters.
ASN1T61String	ASN.1 T61String (also the teletex string), try not to use this if you don't need to.
ASN1TaggedObject	ASN.1 TaggedObject - in ASN.1 notation this is any object preceded by a [n] where n is some number - these are assumed to follow the construction rules (as with sequences).
ASN1UniversalString	ASN.1 UniversalString object - encodes UNICODE (ISO 10646) characters using 32-bit format.
ASN1UTCTime	- * UTC time object.
ASN1UTF8String
ASN1Util
ASN1VideotexString
ASN1VisibleString	ASN.1 VisibleString object encoding ISO 646 (ASCII) character code points 32 to 126.
BERBitString
BERBitStringParser	Deprecated. Check for 'ASN1BitStringParser' instead

BERSetParser	Deprecated. Check for 'ASN1SetParser' instead
BERTaggedObject	BER TaggedObject - in ASN.1 notation this is any object preceded by a [n] where n is some number - these are assumed to follow the construction rules (as with sequences).
DERBitString	A BIT STRING with DER encoding - the first byte contains the count of padding bits included in the byte array's last byte.
DERBMPString	DER BMPString object encodes BMP (Basic Multilingual Plane) subset (aka UCS-2) of UNICODE (ISO 10646) characters in codepoints 0 to 65535.

DERGeneralString	ASN.1 GENERAL-STRING data type.
DERGenerator	Basic class for streaming DER encoding generators.
DERGraphicString
DERIA5String	DER IA5String object - this is a ISO 646 (ASCII) string encoding code points 0 to 127.
DERNull	An ASN.1 DER NULL object.
DERNumericString	DER NumericString object - this is an ascii string of characters {0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9, }.
DEROctetString	Carrier class for a DER encoding OCTET STRING
DEROctetStringParser	Deprecated. Check for 'ASN1OctetStringParser' instead
