Sorry in my prev jayalakshmi.bhat> mail I mentioned obj_mac.h instead of obj_mac.num. As someone else said, that file keeps a map from symbols (Attribute Types in ASN.1 speak) to NIDs, which are the internal OpenSSL identifiers for them. Not only that, but obj_mac.num makes sure that those identifiers stay the same from one OpenSSL release to another, which is very important to do, since we assign them to the NID_* macros in obj_mac.h and those macros can be used by anyone any time.
