Description Mitar 2016-03-21 11:51:07 UTC 
It seems the algorithm OID for ECDH is invalid. In the Web Crypto standard it is specified as 1.3.132.112. But it should be 1.3.132.1.12, shouldn't it?

http://www.oid-info.com/cgi-bin/display?oid=1.3.132.1.12&submit=Display&action=display

RFC 5480 confirms:

id-ecDH OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= {
   iso(1) identified-organization(3) certicom(132) schemes(1)
   ecdh(12) }
