## Class DERT61String

- java.lang.Object
- - org.bouncycastle.asn1.ASN1Object
  - - org.bouncycastle.asn1.ASN1Primitive
    - - org.bouncycastle.asn1.ASN1T61String
      - - org.bouncycastle.asn1.DERT61String

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    ASN1Encodable, ASN1String, Encodable

      public class DERT61String
      extends ASN1T61String

  DER T61String (also the teletex string), try not to use this if you don't need to. The standard support the encoding for this has been withdrawn.
