CertAlgIdToOID function (wincrypt.h)

Use the CryptFindOIDInfo function instead of this function because ALG_ID identifiers are no longer supported in CNG. Use the CRYPT_OID_INFO_CNG_ALGID_KEY value in the dwKeyType parameter of the CryptFindOIDInfo function instead.

Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP:  The CertAlgIdToOID function converts a CryptoAPI algorithm identifier (ALG_ID) to an Abstract Syntax Notation One (ASN.1) object identifier (OID) string.

Syntax

LPCSTR CertAlgIdToOID(
  [in] DWORD dwAlgId
);

Parameters

[in] dwAlgId

Value to be converted to an OID.

Return value

If the function succeeds, the function returns the null-terminated OID string.

If no OID string corresponds to the algorithm identifier, the function returns NULL.
