Object Identifier

0: ITU-T

1: ISO

2: joint-iso-itu-t

USAGE

In Computer Security , OIDs serve to name almost every object type in X.509 Certificates , such as components of Distinguished Name s, CPS s, etc.

Within LDAP Schema s, each Attribute Type has a unique OID

In Computer Networking , an OID, in the context of the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), consists of the object identifier for an Object in a Management Information Base (MIB).

In Computer Programming , an object identifier generally takes the form of an implementation-specific Integer or Pointer that uniquely identifies an Object .

EXAMPLES

The most common OIDs seen "in the wild" usually belong to the Private Enterprise numbers allocated by IANA under the 1.3.6.1.4.1 (iso.org.dod.internet.private.enterprise) arc.
