OID

We suggest having the following format of an OID x.y.z.A.V.P, where:

• x.y.z: OID prefix - to be decided
• A: identifier of an algorithm
• V: version of an algorithm specification
• P: parameter set (a.k.a. NIST security level)

Example: Let say we have following OID 1.3.6.1.4.1.2.9.31.3, then:

• 1.3.6.1.4.1.2 is a common prefix for all PQ schemes (x.y.z). Actual value to be decided.
• 9 identifier of PQ scheme (let say Dilithium)
• 31 version of a specification (here Dilithium 3.1)
• 3 parameter set (here, Dilithium 3)
