Abstract

ASN.1 (Abstract Syntax Notation One) has been increasingly used in defining the data structures used in internet security protocols. In this paper we present a framework for translating ASN.1 specification into Z. We use a restricted version of ASN.1, which is however sufficiently powerful to specify important network communication protocols. Finally, we present an example of translation based on the Cryptographic Message Syntax of S/MIME.
