Subject:       Entrust OID registry?


The document http://www.imc.org/ietf-smime/oids.html (Note to Paul: it is
not referenced from the ietf-smime page) contains the following
Algorithm Identifiers:

   cast3CBC OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::=
       {1 2 840 113533 7 66 3}
   cast5CBC OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::=
       {1 2 840 113533 7 66 10}


Whereas the OID registry at
http://domen.uninett.no/~hta/ietf/oid/1.2.840.html
contains registrations for "1.2.840.113553 - Nortel US", under which appears
"1.2.840.113553.7.66 - Secure Networks Algorithms".

This one is incorrect:  the fourth number should be "113533".

Neither www.nortel.com nor www.entrust.com seem to have an OID registry
which could verify which of these entries has the typo.  So,

 1) Anyone know where to get the list of organizations under 1.2.840?

 2) Anyone know which is the correct OID for Nortel/Entrust?

 3) Anyone know if Entrust has published the OID's under it's control
      including the AlgorithmIdentifier parameter syntax for CAST5 ?

The details for CAST5 can be found in Section 2.6 of RFC 2144.  I'm
actually not sure off-hand which other OIDs we've published, but I can
find out if you want...
