OID (object Identifier) denotes an object.
Examples:
------------------------------------------------------------------
OID Object
------------------------------------------------------------------
1.3.14.3.2.26 SHA-1
2.16.840.1.101.3.4.2.1 SHA-256
1.2.840.113549.1.7.2 PKCS-7 Signeddata
------------------------------------------------------------------
In OpenSSL no functions is directly provided to compute the OID ASN.1 encode. At lease, methods can be taken to account.
1. Create a temporary object by invoking function Obj_create () and then encode it by invoking function I2d_asn1_object ().
Implementation (not recommended)
/*************************************************** Author:han wei* Author ' s blog:http://blog.csdn.net/henter/* Date:oct 11th, 2014* description:implement the OID ASN.1 encode function********************************************** /#include <stdio.h> #include <openssl/objects.h> #include <openssl/asn1.h>int asn1encodeoid ( Char *oid, unsigned char *encode, int *encode_len) {int New_nid, Byte_len; Asn1_object *obj; unsigned char *tmp_pointer; New_nid = Obj_create (OID, "oid example", "Object Identifier example"); obj = Obj_nid2obj (New_nid); if (!encode) {Byte_len = I2d_asn1_object (obj, NULL), if (Byte_len <= 0) {#ifdef _DEBUG printf ("Get ASN.1 encode Byte length failed at%s, line%d!\n ", __file__, __line__); #endif obj_cleanup (); Return (-1);} else{*encode_len = Byte_len; Obj_cleanup (); return 0;} } else {tmp_pointer = encode; Byte_len = I2d_asn1_object (obj, &tmp_pointer); if (byte_len <= 0) {#ifdef _DEBUG printf ("ASN.1 encode OID failed at%s, line%d!\n", __file__, __line__); #endif obj_cleanup (); Return (-1); } else {*encode_len = Byte_len; Obj_cleanup (); return 0; } }}
This is a good implementation. Obj_cleanup () would free any dynamically created object, so this function must be used carefully. Especially when multiple threads is running, the fact that one thread invokes Obj_cleanup () may run the risk of cleaning Object created by other threads. The consequence is unpredictable.
2. Compute OID Payload Part ASN.1 encode by invoking function a2d_asn1_object () Firstly, Compute the OID encode by Invokin g function I2d_asn1_object () next.

ASN.1 encode of SHA-256 is obtained from the demo:0x6 0x9 0x60 0x86 0x48 0x1 0x65 0x3 0x4 0x2 0x1
This is a better implementation.
