Const-friendly implementation of the ISO/IEC Object Identifier (OID) standard
|
||
|
|
as defined in ITU [X.660], with support for BER/DER encoding/decoding as well
|
||
|
|
as heapless `no_std` (i.e. embedded) environments.

## About OIDs
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Object Identifiers, a.k.a. OIDs, are an International Telecommunications
|
||
|
|
Union (ITU) and ISO/IEC standard for naming any object, concept, or "thing"
|
||
|
|
with a globally unambiguous persistent name.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The ITU's [X.660] standard provides the OID specification. Every OID is part of
|
||
|
|
a hierarchical namespace which begins with a *root OID*, which is either the
|
||
|
|
ITU's root OID (0), the ISO's root OID (1), or the joint ISO/ITU root OID (2).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The following is an example of an OID, in this case identifying the
|
||
|
|
`rsaEncryption` algorithm:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```text
|
||
|
|
1.2.840.113549.1.1.1
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|

|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Implementation
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This library supports parsing OIDs in const contexts, e.g.:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```rust
|
||
|
|
use const_oid::ObjectIdentifier;
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
pub const MY_OID: ObjectIdentifier = ObjectIdentifier::new_unwrap("1.2.840.113549.1.1.1");
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The OID parser is implemented entirely in terms of `const fn` and without the
|
||
|
|
use of proc macros.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Additionally, it also includes a `const fn` OID serializer, and stores the OIDs
|
||
|
|
parsed from const contexts encoded using the BER/DER serialization
|
||
|
|
(sans header).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This allows `ObjectIdentifier` to impl `AsRef<[u8]>` which can be used to
|
||
|
|
obtain the BER/DER serialization of an OID, even one declared `const`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Additionally, it impls `FromStr` and `TryFrom<&[u8]>` and functions just as
|
||
|
|
well as a runtime OID library.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Minimum Supported Rust Version
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This crate requires **Rust 1.57** at a minimum.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
We may change the MSRV in the future, but it will be accompanied by a minor
|
||
|
|
version bump.
