Encoding Instructions for the Generic String Encoding Rules
RFC 4792, “Encoding Instructions for the Generic String Encoding Rules”, is a Proposed Standard document published in January 2007 by S. Legg. It updates RFC 3641. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
Abstract Syntax Notation One (ASN.1) defines a general framework for annotating types in an ASN.1 specification with encoding instructions that alter how values of those types are encoded according to ASN.1 encoding rules. This document defines the supporting notation for encoding instructions that apply to the Generic String Encoding Rules (GSER) and, in particular, defines an encoding instruction to provide a machine-processable representation for the declaration of a GSER ChoiceOfStrings type. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
