Hi all, well.. I found a solution that works for now, although it might not be the most elegant. I just coded a new function that lets you create a new OBJ with a specific NID, in this way other parts of the code can use the new OBJ and retrieve the same NID for, for example, "P384" and "secp284r1".
Cheers, Max P.S.: I also tried by using the OBJ_NAME_add with OBJ_NAME_ALIAS, but I could not figure out how to make it work for my purpose... :( On 01/15/2011 02:06 PM, Massimiliano Pala wrote:
Hi all, I was wondering if it was possible to add an alias to an object. In particular, I would like to add the possibility, for example, to use "P384" instead of "secp384r1" when retrieving an object ID: name_1 = "P384"; name_2 = "secp384r1"; ret_1 = OBJ_txt2obj ( name_1, 0 ); ret_2 = OBJ_txt2obj ( name_2, 0 ); So that ret_1 and ret_2 point to the same object ? Or, at least, the following returns the same NID: nid_1 = OBJ_sn2nid ( name_1); nid_2 = OBJ_sn2nid ( name_2); ==> nid_1 == nid_2 Is there a way to do that ? Cheers, Max
