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. + + + + + + +Schaad & Andrews Informational [Page 2] + +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. + + + + + + + +Schaad & Andrews Informational [Page 3] + +RFC 8411 OID Registry August 2018 + + +4.
