title: Getting reasonable names for ASN.1 identifiers
body: <p>Using the BouncyCastle library (although I guess the library is sort of irrelevant) I often run into algorithm IDs specified as ASN.1 identifiers. For example, the signature algorithm for a certificate might be <code>"1.2.840.113549.1.1.11"</code>.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a proper way to convert this into some kind of human-readable form that <em>doesn't</em> involve finding every ID I can get my hands on and manually building a gigantic lookup table?</p>
