<oidEntry> Element
Maps an ASN.1 object identifier (OID) to a friendly name.
<configuration>
<mscorlib>
<cryptographySettings>
<oidMap>
<oidEntry>
<oidEntry OID="object identifier number" name="friendly name" />
Required Attributes
Attribute | Description |
---|---|
OID | Specifies the ASN.1 OID corresponding to the algorithm implemented by your class. |
name | Specifies the value for the name attribute in the <nameEntry> tag. |
Remarks
ASN.1 object identifiers identify algorithms in some cryptographic formats. Map object identifiers to friendly names for the algorithms you want to identify. For more information about object identifiers, see the MSDN Library.
Example
The following example shows how to use the <oidEntry> element to map an object identifier for the RIPEMD-160 hash algorithm to an implementation of that hash algorithm.
<configuration>
<mscorlib>
<cryptographySettings>
<cryptoNameMapping>
<cryptoClasses>
<cryptoClass MyCrypto="MyCryptoClass, MyAssembly
Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=a5d015c7d5a0b012,
Version=1.0.0.0"/>
</cryptoClasses>
<nameEntry name="RIPEMD-160" class="MyCrypto"/>
</cryptoNameMapping>
<oidMap>
<oidEntry OID="1.3.36.3.2.1" name="MyCryptoClass"/>
</oidMap>
</cryptographySettings>
</mscorlib>
</configuration>
