Description of organizations covered by the coding system: NIST/OSI Workshop attenders will assign a sub value to any special interest group that is approved and chartered by the Workshop, if it is appropriate to assign such sub values. The Workshop is an open, public, international forum.
Notes on use of the code: The ICD code forms the initial part of the Workshop naming and addressing tree.
To the question "Are the OIW OIDs still in common use?", Peter Gutmann replied on June 23, 2004: "Some of the crypto ones still in use, this would include the DES-modes OIDs and some of the weird (obsolete) SHA and DSA ones that were (incorrectly) copied into JCE implementations. Examples of obsolete OIDs: {iso(1) identified-organization(3) oiw(14) secsig(3) algorithms(2) sha-1WithRSAEncryption(29)}; an obsolete DSA one that ended up in CDSA (so presumably OS X crypto will use it) and the German PKI work; and a variety of
other odd bits and pieces. In general you need a many-to-one mapping where on write you emit the most appropriate OID and on read you allow any one of a number of OIDs, including incorrect ones (the JDK one is actually dsaWithSHA0,
but it's used as if it was dsaWithSHA1)."
