NAME
RSA-PSS - EVP_PKEY RSA-PSS algorithm support
DESCRIPTION
The RSA-PSS EVP_PKEY implementation is a restricted version of the RSA
algorithm which only supports signing, verification and key generation
using PSS padding modes with optional parameter restrictions.
It has associated private key and public key formats.
This algorithm shares several control operations with the RSA algorithm
but with some restrictions described below.
Signing and Verification
Signing and verification is similar to the RSA algorithm except the
padding mode is always PSS. If the key in use has parameter
restrictions then the corresponding signature parameters are set to the
restrictions: for example, if the key can only be used with digest
SHA256, MGF1 SHA256 and minimum salt length 32 then the digest, MGF1
digest and salt length will be set to SHA256, SHA256 and 32
respectively.
Key Generation
By default no parameter restrictions are placed on the generated key.
NOTES
The public key format is documented in RFC4055.
The PKCS#8 private key format used for RSA-PSS keys is similar to the
RSA format except it uses the id-RSASSA-PSS OID and the parameters
field, if present, restricts the key parameters in the same way as the
public key.
