This
document provides recommendations for the implementation of public-key
cryptography based on the RSA algorithm [18], covering the following aspects:
-cryptographic
primitives
-encryption
schemes
-signature
schemes with appendix
-ASN.1
syntax for representing keys and for identifying the schemes
The
recommendations are intended for general application within computer and
communications systems, and as such include a fair amount of flexibility. It is
expected that application standards based on these specifications may include
additional constraints. The recommendations are intended to be compatible with
draft standards currently being developed by the ANSI X9F1 [1] and IEEE P1363
working groups [14]. This document supersedes PKCS #1 version 1.5 [20].
Editor's note. It is expected that subsequent versions of PKCS #1 may cover
other aspects of the RSA algorithm such as key size, key generation, key
validation, and signature schemes with message recovery.
