'''Abstract Syntax Notation''' (ASN.1) is a messaging scheme originated in the 1980's as part of the effort to achieve electronic commerce between companies.  The term actually applies to several different things:
==References==
*A human-readable metalanguage used in describing protocols
{{reflist}}
*An exchange format for exchanging abstract information between computers, using various ''encoding rules'' to put specific content into the transfer syntax, including:
**Basic Encoding Rules
**Cryptographic Encoding Rules


While ASN.1 was originally developed for the [[Open Systems Interconnection Reference Model]] architecture, an ASN.1 subset provides both the metalanguage for describing the objects in the [[Management Information Base]] of [[Internet Protocol Suite]] implementations, which are manipulated by the [[Simple Network Management Protocol]].
