Class ASN1OctetString

java.lang.Object
  com.sun.slamd.asn1.ASN1Element
      com.sun.slamd.asn1.ASN1OctetString

public class ASN1OctetString
extends ASN1Element

This class defines an ASN.1 element that can hold an octet string value. An octet string is simply a set of bytes, and therefore any value can be encoded as an octet string, although other types may be more appropriate.
