CertAlgIdToOID (Compact 2013)

3/28/2014

This function converts a CryptoAPI algorithm identifier (ALG_ID) to an ASN.1 object identifier string.

Syntax

LPCSTR WINAPI CertAlgIdToOID(
  DWORD dwAlgId
);

Parameters

  • dwAlgId
    [in] Specifies the value to be converted to an object identifier (OID).

Return Value

Returns the NULL-terminated OID string or NULL if there is no OID string that corresponds to the algorithm identifier.

Example Code

Important

For readability, the following code example does not contain security checking or error handling. Do not use the following code in a production environment.

// EXAMPLE CODE USING CertAlgIdToOID() to 
// convert the CALG_SHA algorithm identifier to an 
// object identifier string.
+
//--------------------------------------------------------------------
//  Declare variables. 
LPCSTR pszObjID;
if(pszObjID= CertAlgIdToOID(CALG_SHA))
{
   printf("The OID for CALG_SHA  is %s \n",pszObjID);
}
else
{
   printf("No object identifier string correlates to the ALG_ID. \n");
}
