Scope:

This Recommendation | International Standard specifies a set of basic encoding rules that may be used to derive the specification of a transfer syntax for values of types defined using the notation specified in Rec. ITU-T X.680 | ISO/IEC 8824-1, Rec. ITU-T X.681 | ISO/IEC 8824-2, Rec. ITU-T X.682 | ISO/IEC 8824-3, and Rec. ITU-T X.683 | ISO/IEC 8824-4, collectively referred to as Abstract Syntax Notation One or ASN.1. These basic encoding rules are also to be applied for decoding such a transfer syntax in order to identify the data values being transferred. It also specifies a set of canonical and distinguished encoding rules that restrict the encoding of values to just one of the alternatives provided by the basic encoding rules.

Project need:

To align Canadian requirements with those of international standards in the ICT subject area (adoption of new standard. This proposed New Standard is being developed at the request of P123 Technical Committee on Information Technology. It will provide the industry with the latest requirements in the field of ICT, including cybersecurity and software. This will meet the strategic needs of the following key interests: a) ensuring that the latest innovative/technology/safety features are available for users.
