Method Summary

All Methods Instance Methods Abstract Methods
Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`java.lang.String`	`getAlgorithmName(org.bouncycastle.asn1.ASN1ObjectIdentifier objectIdentifier)`	Return a string representation of the passed in objectIdentifier.
`java.lang.String`	`getAlgorithmName(org.bouncycastle.asn1.x509.AlgorithmIdentifier algorithmIdentifier)`	Return a string representation of the passed in AlgorithmIdentifier, based on the OID in the AlgorithmField, with the parameters included where appropriate.
`boolean`	`hasAlgorithmName(org.bouncycastle.asn1.ASN1ObjectIdentifier objectIdentifier)`	Return true if the passed in objectIdentifier has a "human friendly" name associated with it.

- Method Detail
  - hasAlgorithmName
```
boolean hasAlgorithmName(org.bouncycastle.asn1.ASN1ObjectIdentifier objectIdentifier)
```
    Return true if the passed in objectIdentifier has a "human friendly" name associated with it.
    
    Parameters:
    
    objectIdentifier - the OID of interest.
    
    Returns:
    
    true if a name lookup exists for the OID, false otherwise.
  - getAlgorithmName
```
java.lang.String getAlgorithmName(org.bouncycastle.asn1.ASN1ObjectIdentifier objectIdentifier)
```
    Return a string representation of the passed in objectIdentifier.
    
    Parameters:
    
    objectIdentifier - the OID of interest.
    
    Returns:
    
    a "human friendly" representation of the OID, the OID as a string if none available.
  - getAlgorithmName
```
java.lang.String getAlgorithmName(org.bouncycastle.asn1.x509.AlgorithmIdentifier algorithmIdentifier)
```
    Return a string representation of the passed in AlgorithmIdentifier, based on the OID in the AlgorithmField, with the parameters included where appropriate.
    
    Parameters:
    
    algorithmIdentifier - the AlgorithmIdentifier of interest.
    
    Returns:
    
    a "human friendly" representation of the algorithmIdentifier, the identifiers OID as a string if none available.
