Yup.Getting an OID arc is pretty easy:

NO. And likely you're not even asking the right question. If you
really wish to pursue this line of inquiry, post a detailed
description of your algorithm, and why you want to extend OpenSS

I thought I answered this. It is hard work, it is not documented, you're on
your own.

Adding new algorithms to openssl is not trivial. It's also not really
documented. Good luck!
For what it's worth, developing your own crypto algorithms is generally a bad
idea
