ASN.1 ENUMERATED tag: 10

The ASN.1 ENUMERATED type is used to create a list of named items. It is similar to the INTEGER type, however, for ENUMERATED, the only values permitted are those identified by name in the list. For INTEGER, the named list is just a set of useful labels for specific numbers, and does not limit what values are permitted.
