<protocol, standard> (PER) ASN.1 encoding rules for
producing a compact transfer syntax for data structures
described in ASN.1, defined in 1994.
PER provides a much more compact encoding then BER. It
tries to represents the data units using the minimum number of
bits. The compactness requires that the decoder knows the
complete abstract syntax of the data structure to be
decoded, however.
