Hello,
sorry for offtopic, but this is last place where, I hope, can get an answer.

We are testing one VoIP device. It uses OID 0.0.8.0.2.6 in CryptoToken as algorithmOID with hash length 160. This OID is unknown and AFAIK doesn't conform to any recommendations. 
It looks like proper H.235 OID for SHA1-96 (0.0.8.235.0.2.6). Advertised hash length is also not correct, H.235 recommendation forces to use 96 with this OID.
I checked OID database, various websites and even contacted some vendors. Nobody has ever seen anything like that. Branch 0.0.8 means ITU-T H-series recommendation and should be followed by document's number, e.g. 235 for H235. In fact, 0.0.8.0 branch doesn't exist. Does somebody know what does it mean?

Thank you very much,
Petr Vacha
