NAME

6       RSA-PSS - EVP_PKEY RSA-PSS algorithm support
7

DESCRIPTION

9       The RSA-PSS EVP_PKEY implementation is a restricted version of the RSA
10       algorithm which only supports signing, verification and key generation
11       using PSS padding modes with optional parameter restrictions.
12
13       It has associated private key and public key formats.
14
15       This algorithm shares several control operations with the RSA algorithm
16       but with some restrictions described below.
17
18   Signing and Verification
19       Signing and verification is similar to the RSA algorithm except the
20       padding mode is always PSS. If the key in use has parameter
21       restrictions then the corresponding signature parameters are set to the
22       restrictions: for example, if the key can only be used with digest
23       SHA256, MGF1 SHA256 and minimum salt length 32 then the digest, MGF1
24       digest and salt length will be set to SHA256, SHA256 and 32
25       respectively.
26
27   Key Generation
28       By default no parameter restrictions are placed on the generated key.

NOTES

31       The public key format is documented in RFC4055.
32
33       The PKCS#8 private key format used for RSA-PSS keys is similar to the
34       RSA format except it uses the id-RSASSA-PSS OID and the parameters
35       field, if present, restricts the key parameters in the same way as the
36       public key.
