/**
 * This package contains a number of classes for interacting with ASN.1 BER
 * elements.  ASN.1 (Abstract Syntax Notation One) provides a framework for
 * representing typed data in a binary form, according to a set of encoding
 * rules.  This implementation uses the Basic Encoding Rules (BER), which is the
 * mechanism used to represent LDAP messages.  It does not provide all standard
 * types of ASN.1 elements, but includes those needed for LDAP processing,
 * including Boolean, enumerated, integer, null, octet string, sequence, and set
 * elements, as well as support for generic element types.  It also supports
 * element types that aren't used in LDAP directly, but may be used in related
 * areas, like generalized time and UTC time values.
