IANA Registration for
the Cryptographic Algorithm Object Identifier Range
Abstract
When the Curdle Security Working Group was chartered, a range of
object identifiers was donated by DigiCert, Inc. for the purpose of
registering the Edwards Elliptic Curve key agreement and signature
algorithms. This donated set of OIDs allowed for shorter values than
would be possible using the existing S/MIME or PKIX arcs. This
document describes the donated range and the identifiers that were
assigned from that range, transfers control of that range to IANA,
and establishes IANA allocation policies for any future assignments
within that range.

1. Introduction
When the Curdle Security Working Group was chartered, a range of
object identifiers was donated to the working group by DigiCert, Inc.
The use of these object identifiers allowed for the Edwards Elliptic
Curve key agreement [RFC7748] and signature [RFC8032] algorithms to
be defined with encodings that are smaller than similar ones would be
if assigned from the existing S/MIME or PKIX arcs. The initial
registrations from this arc were made while developing [RFC8410].
After those registrations were made, there were still some unused
values that could be used by other security groups.
Object identifiers are primarily used with Abstract Syntax Notation
(ASN.1) [ASN.1]. The ASN.1 specifications continue to evolve, but
object identifiers can be used with any and all versions of ASN.1.
This document describes the object identifiers that were assigned in
that donated range, transfers control of the range to IANA, and
establishes IANA allocation policies for any future assignments.

RFC 8411 OID Registry August 2018
The donated range from DigiCert, Inc. is as follows:
first: { iso (1) identified-organization (3) thawte (101) 100 }
last: { iso (1) identified-organization (3) thawte (101) 127 }
2. IANA Considerations
IANA has created the "SMI Security for Cryptographic Algorithms"
registry within the SMI-numbers registry. The new registry has three
columns, as shown below.
