What does is it?

[Paolo Serra]

Is there anyone who can tell me what do this line mean (they belongs to
/crypto/objects/objects.txt) ?
line 659 !Alias csor 2 16 840 1 101 3
line 660 !Alias nistAlgorithms csor 4
line 661 !Alias aes nistAlgorithms 1
In particular, for what stands the number 4 in line 660?

Have a nice day!
Paolo SERRA

Its just an additional part of the OID. So:

csor is 2.16.840.1.101.3
nistAlgorithms is 2.16.840.1.101.3.4
aes is 2.16.840.1.101.3.4.1
