The design and implementation of an enhanced ASN.1 compiler for open system application

개방 시스템 응용을 위한 개선된 ASN.1 컴파일러 설계 및 구현

Syntax notation one (ASN.1) defined by ITU-T and ISO, is a formal abstrct specification language which has been widely used in international standards specifiation to inteconnect distributed open systems. It si necessary to have well defined encoder/decoder modules which taranslate ASN.1 datum to BER octets stream to interconnect distributed open systems. In this paper, we designed and implemented a new ASN.1-to-C compiler, called HYASNC (hanyang ASN.1-to-C), which atutomatically translates and ASN.1-to-C compiler, called HYASNC (hanyang ASN.1-to-C), which automatically translates an ASN.1 specification into C-language BER encoders and decoders with simple and neat I/F for the defined ASN.1 data types, and enhanced BER (basic encoding rules)encoding/decoding libraries, called HY(hanyang)BER library, and useful utility functions. And this paper discusses HYASNC compiler, HY BER runtime library's design and implementation principles, and also evaluates the perfomrance of HY BER library and the interoperability with other ASN.1 compilers.
