This class represents Universal Object Identifiers (Oids) and their associated operations.
Oids are hierarchically globally-interpretable identifiers used within the GSS-API framework to identify mechanisms and name formats.
The structure and encoding of Oids is defined in ISOIEC-8824 and ISOIEC-8825. For example the Oid representation of Kerberos V5 mechanism is "1.2.840.113554.1.2.2"
The GSSName name class contains public static Oid objects representing the standard name types defined in GSS-API.
