dumpasn1 is a general purpose ASN.1 decoder that knows about many common
OIDs. You can use it to dump just about any ASN.1 blob used in any way
with PKI.
Dumpasn1 is not part of NSS. The source (and the file of OIDs) are freely
available from the author. See http://www.cs.auckland.ac.nz/~pgut001/
and look for the string "dumpasn1" for those files and other interesting
stuff.
