+ 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.
+
+ +------------+-------------------------------+-----------------+
+ | Decimal | Description | References |
+ +------------+-------------------------------+-----------------+
+ | 0-99 | Retained by DigiCert | RFC 8411 |
+ | 100 | Reserved for child reg | RFC 8411 |
+ | 110 | id-X25519 | [RFC8410] |
+ | 111 | id-X448 | [RFC8410] |
+ | 112 | id-EdDSA25519 | [RFC8410] |
+ | 113 | id-EdDSA448 | [RFC8410] |
+ | 114 | Reserved for id-EdDSA25519-ph | [SAFE-X.509-03] |
+ | 115 | Reserved for id-EdDSA448-ph | [SAFE-X.509-03] |
+ | 128 and up | Retained by DigiCert | RFC 8411 |
+ +------------+-------------------------------+-----------------+
+
+ Table 1: SMI Security for Cryptographic Algorithms
+
+ The registration policy is "Specification Required" as defined in
+ [RFC8126].
+
+ The column 'Decimal' is required to be a number between 100 and 127
+ inclusive.
+
+ The value of 100 has been reserved so that a new arc below that point
+ can be established in the future (i.e., starting at 1.3.101.100.1).
+ If the new child registry is established, a name for this value is to
+ be assigned at that point. The experts can, at their discretion,
+ assign an algorithm OID instead.
+
+3. Security Considerations
+
+ This document populates an IANA registry, and it raises no new
+ security considerations. The protocols that specify these values
+ include the security considerations associated with their usage.

+ Our thanks go out to DigiCert for donating the range of OIDs covered
