The only reason for this is US export laws.

Here are the ones I have:
DES-ECB OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { algorithm 6 }
DES-CBC OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { algorithm 7 }
DES-OFB OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { algorithm 8 }
DES-CFB OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { algorithm 9 }
DES-MAC OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { algorithm 10 }
DES-EDE OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { algorithm 17 }
where
algorithm OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::=
{iso(1) identified-organization(3) oiw(14) secsig(3) algorithm(2)}
