Appendix A. ASN.1 syntax

A.1 RSA key representation

This section defines ASN.1 object identifiers for RSA public and private keys, and defines the types RSAPublicKey and RSAPrivateKey. The intended application of these definitions includes X.509 certificates, PKCS #8 [46], and PKCS #12 [47]. The object identifier rsaEncryption identifies RSA public and private keys as defined in Appendices A.1.1 and A.1.2. The parameters field associated with this OID in a value of type AlgorithmIdentifier shall have a value of type NULL. rsaEncryption OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { pkcs-1 1 } The definitions in this section have been extended to support multi- prime RSA, but are backward compatible with previous versions.

A.1.1 RSA public key syntax

An RSA public key should be represented with the ASN.1 type RSAPublicKey: RSAPublicKey ::= SEQUENCE { modulus INTEGER, -- n publicExponent INTEGER -- e } The fields of type RSAPublicKey have the following meanings: * modulus is the RSA modulus n. * publicExponent is the RSA public exponent e.
ToP   noToC   RFC3447 - Page 45

A.1.2 RSA private key syntax

An RSA private key should be represented with the ASN.1 type RSAPrivateKey: RSAPrivateKey ::= SEQUENCE { version Version, modulus INTEGER, -- n publicExponent INTEGER, -- e privateExponent INTEGER, -- d prime1 INTEGER, -- p prime2 INTEGER, -- q exponent1 INTEGER, -- d mod (p-1) exponent2 INTEGER, -- d mod (q-1) coefficient INTEGER, -- (inverse of q) mod p otherPrimeInfos OtherPrimeInfos OPTIONAL } The fields of type RSAPrivateKey have the following meanings: * version is the version number, for compatibility with future revisions of this document. It shall be 0 for this version of the document, unless multi-prime is used, in which case it shall be 1. Version ::= INTEGER { two-prime(0), multi(1) } (CONSTRAINED BY {-- version must be multi if otherPrimeInfos present --}) * modulus is the RSA modulus n. * publicExponent is the RSA public exponent e. * privateExponent is the RSA private exponent d. * prime1 is the prime factor p of n. * prime2 is the prime factor q of n. * exponent1 is d mod (p - 1). * exponent2 is d mod (q - 1). * coefficient is the CRT coefficient q^(-1) mod p. * otherPrimeInfos contains the information for the additional primes r_3, ..., r_u, in order. It shall be omitted if version is 0 and shall contain at least one instance of OtherPrimeInfo if version is 1.
ToP   noToC   RFC3447 - Page 46
         OtherPrimeInfos ::= SEQUENCE SIZE(1..MAX) OF OtherPrimeInfo

         OtherPrimeInfo ::= SEQUENCE {
             prime             INTEGER,  -- ri
             exponent          INTEGER,  -- di
             coefficient       INTEGER   -- ti
         }

   The fields of type OtherPrimeInfo have the following meanings:

    * prime is a prime factor r_i of n, where i >= 3.

    * exponent is d_i = d mod (r_i - 1).

    * coefficient is the CRT coefficient t_i = (r_1 * r_2 * ... * r_(i-
      1))^(-1) mod r_i.

   Note.  It is important to protect the RSA private key against both
   disclosure and modification.  Techniques for such protection are
   outside the scope of this document.  Methods for storing and
   distributing private keys and other cryptographic data are described
   in PKCS #12 and #15.

A.2 Scheme identification

This section defines object identifiers for the encryption and signature schemes. The schemes compatible with PKCS #1 v1.5 have the same definitions as in PKCS #1 v1.5. The intended application of these definitions includes X.509 certificates and PKCS #7. Here are type identifier definitions for the PKCS #1 OIDs: PKCS1Algorithms ALGORITHM-IDENTIFIER ::= { { OID rsaEncryption PARAMETERS NULL } | { OID md2WithRSAEncryption PARAMETERS NULL } | { OID md5WithRSAEncryption PARAMETERS NULL } | { OID sha1WithRSAEncryption PARAMETERS NULL } | { OID sha256WithRSAEncryption PARAMETERS NULL } | { OID sha384WithRSAEncryption PARAMETERS NULL } | { OID sha512WithRSAEncryption PARAMETERS NULL } | { OID id-RSAES-OAEP PARAMETERS RSAES-OAEP-params } | PKCS1PSourceAlgorithms | { OID id-RSASSA-PSS PARAMETERS RSASSA-PSS-params } , ... -- Allows for future expansion -- }
ToP   noToC   RFC3447 - Page 47

A.2.1 RSAES-OAEP

The object identifier id-RSAES-OAEP identifies the RSAES-OAEP encryption scheme. id-RSAES-OAEP OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { pkcs-1 7 } The parameters field associated with this OID in a value of type AlgorithmIdentifier shall have a value of type RSAES-OAEP-params: RSAES-OAEP-params ::= SEQUENCE { hashAlgorithm [0] HashAlgorithm DEFAULT sha1, maskGenAlgorithm [1] MaskGenAlgorithm DEFAULT mgf1SHA1, pSourceAlgorithm [2] PSourceAlgorithm DEFAULT pSpecifiedEmpty } The fields of type RSAES-OAEP-params have the following meanings: * hashAlgorithm identifies the hash function. It shall be an algorithm ID with an OID in the set OAEP-PSSDigestAlgorithms. For a discussion of supported hash functions, see Appendix B.1. HashAlgorithm ::= AlgorithmIdentifier { {OAEP-PSSDigestAlgorithms} } OAEP-PSSDigestAlgorithms ALGORITHM-IDENTIFIER ::= { { OID id-sha1 PARAMETERS NULL }| { OID id-sha256 PARAMETERS NULL }| { OID id-sha384 PARAMETERS NULL }| { OID id-sha512 PARAMETERS NULL }, ... -- Allows for future expansion -- } The default hash function is SHA-1: sha1 HashAlgorithm ::= { algorithm id-sha1, parameters SHA1Parameters : NULL } SHA1Parameters ::= NULL * maskGenAlgorithm identifies the mask generation function. It shall be an algorithm ID with an OID in the set PKCS1MGFAlgorithms, which for this version shall consist of id-mgf1, identifying the MGF1 mask generation function (see Appendix B.2.1). The parameters field associated with id-mgf1
ToP   noToC   RFC3447 - Page 48
      shall be an algorithm ID with an OID in the set
      OAEP-PSSDigestAlgorithms, identifying the hash function on which
      MGF1 is based.

         MaskGenAlgorithm ::= AlgorithmIdentifier {
            {PKCS1MGFAlgorithms}
         }
         PKCS1MGFAlgorithms    ALGORITHM-IDENTIFIER ::= {
             { OID id-mgf1 PARAMETERS HashAlgorithm },
             ...  -- Allows for future expansion --
         }

      The default mask generation function is MGF1 with SHA-1:

         mgf1SHA1    MaskGenAlgorithm ::= {
             algorithm   id-mgf1,
             parameters  HashAlgorithm : sha1
         }

    * pSourceAlgorithm identifies the source (and possibly the value)
      of the label L.  It shall be an algorithm ID with an OID in the
      set PKCS1PSourceAlgorithms, which for this version shall consist
      of id-pSpecified, indicating that the label is specified
      explicitly.  The parameters field associated with id-pSpecified
      shall have a value of type OCTET STRING, containing the
      label.  In previous versions of this specification, the term
      "encoding parameters" was used rather than "label", hence the
      name of the type below.

         PSourceAlgorithm ::= AlgorithmIdentifier {
            {PKCS1PSourceAlgorithms}
         }

         PKCS1PSourceAlgorithms    ALGORITHM-IDENTIFIER ::= {
             { OID id-pSpecified PARAMETERS EncodingParameters },
             ...  -- Allows for future expansion --
         }

         id-pSpecified    OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { pkcs-1 9 }

         EncodingParameters ::= OCTET STRING(SIZE(0..MAX))
ToP   noToC   RFC3447 - Page 49
      The default label is an empty string (so that lHash will contain
      the hash of the empty string):

         pSpecifiedEmpty    PSourceAlgorithm ::= {
             algorithm   id-pSpecified,
             parameters  EncodingParameters : emptyString
         }

         emptyString    EncodingParameters ::= ''H

      If all of the default values of the fields in RSAES-OAEP-params
      are used, then the algorithm identifier will have the following
      value:

         rSAES-OAEP-Default-Identifier  RSAES-AlgorithmIdentifier ::= {
             algorithm   id-RSAES-OAEP,
             parameters  RSAES-OAEP-params : {
                 hashAlgorithm       sha1,
                 maskGenAlgorithm    mgf1SHA1,
                 pSourceAlgorithm    pSpecifiedEmpty
             }
         }

         RSAES-AlgorithmIdentifier ::= AlgorithmIdentifier {
            {PKCS1Algorithms}
         }

A.2.2 RSAES-PKCS1-v1_5

The object identifier rsaEncryption (see Appendix A.1) identifies the RSAES-PKCS1-v1_5 encryption scheme. The parameters field associated with this OID in a value of type AlgorithmIdentifier shall have a value of type NULL. This is the same as in PKCS #1 v1.5. rsaEncryption OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { pkcs-1 1 }

A.2.3 RSASSA-PSS

The object identifier id-RSASSA-PSS identifies the RSASSA-PSS encryption scheme. id-RSASSA-PSS OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { pkcs-1 10 }
ToP   noToC   RFC3447 - Page 50
   The parameters field associated with this OID in a value of type
   AlgorithmIdentifier shall have a value of type RSASSA-PSS-params:

      RSASSA-PSS-params ::= SEQUENCE {
          hashAlgorithm      [0] HashAlgorithm    DEFAULT sha1,
          maskGenAlgorithm   [1] MaskGenAlgorithm DEFAULT mgf1SHA1,
          saltLength         [2] INTEGER          DEFAULT 20,
          trailerField       [3] TrailerField     DEFAULT trailerFieldBC
      }

   The fields of type RSASSA-PSS-params have the following meanings:

    * hashAlgorithm identifies the hash function.  It shall be an
      algorithm ID with an OID in the set OAEP-PSSDigestAlgorithms (see
      Appendix A.2.1).  The default hash function is SHA-1.

    * maskGenAlgorithm identifies the mask generation function.  It
      shall be an algorithm ID with an OID in the set

      PKCS1MGFAlgorithms (see Appendix A.2.1).  The default mask
      generation function is MGF1 with SHA-1.  For MGF1 (and more
      generally, for other mask generation functions based on a hash
      function), it is recommended that the underlying hash function be
      the same as the one identified by hashAlgorithm; see Note 2 in
      Section 9.1 for further comments.

    * saltLength is the octet length of the salt.  It shall be an
      integer.  For a given hashAlgorithm, the default value of
      saltLength is the octet length of the hash value.  Unlike the
      other fields of type RSASSA-PSS-params, saltLength does not need
      to be fixed for a given RSA key pair.

    * trailerField is the trailer field number, for compatibility with
      the draft IEEE P1363a [27].  It shall be 1 for this version of the
      document, which represents the trailer field with hexadecimal
      value 0xbc.  Other trailer fields (including the trailer field
      HashID || 0xcc in IEEE P1363a) are not supported in this document.

         TrailerField ::= INTEGER { trailerFieldBC(1) }

      If the default values of the hashAlgorithm, maskGenAlgorithm, and
      trailerField fields of RSASSA-PSS-params are used, then the
      algorithm identifier will have the following value:
ToP   noToC   RFC3447 - Page 51
         rSASSA-PSS-Default-Identifier  RSASSA-AlgorithmIdentifier ::= {
             algorithm   id-RSASSA-PSS,
             parameters  RSASSA-PSS-params : {
                 hashAlgorithm       sha1,
                 maskGenAlgorithm    mgf1SHA1,
                 saltLength          20,
                 trailerField        trailerFieldBC
             }
         }

         RSASSA-AlgorithmIdentifier ::=
             AlgorithmIdentifier { {PKCS1Algorithms} }

   Note.  In some applications, the hash function underlying a signature
   scheme is identified separately from the rest of the operations in
   the signature scheme.  For instance, in PKCS #7 [45], a hash function
   identifier is placed before the message and a "digest encryption"
   algorithm identifier (indicating the rest of the operations) is
   carried with the signature.  In order for PKCS #7 to support the
   RSASSA-PSS signature scheme, an object identifier would need to be
   defined for the operations in RSASSA-PSS after the hash function
   (analogous to the RSAEncryption OID for the RSASSA-PKCS1-v1_5
   scheme).  S/MIME CMS [25] takes a different approach.  Although a
   hash function identifier is placed before the message, an algorithm
   identifier for the full signature scheme may be carried with a CMS
   signature (this is done for DSA signatures).  Following this
   convention, the id-RSASSA-PSS OID can be used to identify RSASSA-PSS
   signatures in CMS.  Since CMS is considered the successor to PKCS #7
   and new developments such as the addition of support for RSASSA-PSS
   will be pursued with respect to CMS rather than PKCS #7, an OID for
   the "rest of" RSASSA-PSS is not defined in this version of PKCS #1.

A.2.4 RSASSA-PKCS1-v1_5

The object identifier for RSASSA-PKCS1-v1_5 shall be one of the following. The choice of OID depends on the choice of hash algorithm: MD2, MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384, or SHA-512. Note that if either MD2 or MD5 is used, then the OID is just as in PKCS #1 v1.5. For each OID, the parameters field associated with this OID in a value of type AlgorithmIdentifier shall have a value of type NULL. The OID should be chosen in accordance with the following table: Hash algorithm OID -------------------------------------------------------- MD2 md2WithRSAEncryption ::= {pkcs-1 2} MD5 md5WithRSAEncryption ::= {pkcs-1 4} SHA-1 sha1WithRSAEncryption ::= {pkcs-1 5} SHA-256 sha256WithRSAEncryption ::= {pkcs-1 11}
ToP   noToC   RFC3447 - Page 52
      SHA-384          sha384WithRSAEncryption ::= {pkcs-1 12}
      SHA-512          sha512WithRSAEncryption ::= {pkcs-1 13}


   The EMSA-PKCS1-v1_5 encoding method includes an ASN.1 value of type
   DigestInfo, where the type DigestInfo has the syntax

      DigestInfo ::= SEQUENCE {
          digestAlgorithm DigestAlgorithm,
          digest OCTET STRING
      }

   digestAlgorithm identifies the hash function and shall be an
   algorithm ID with an OID in the set PKCS1-v1-5DigestAlgorithms.  For
   a discussion of supported hash functions, see Appendix B.1.

      DigestAlgorithm ::=
          AlgorithmIdentifier { {PKCS1-v1-5DigestAlgorithms} }

      PKCS1-v1-5DigestAlgorithms    ALGORITHM-IDENTIFIER ::= {
          { OID id-md2 PARAMETERS NULL    }|
          { OID id-md5 PARAMETERS NULL    }|
          { OID id-sha1 PARAMETERS NULL   }|
          { OID id-sha256 PARAMETERS NULL }|
          { OID id-sha384 PARAMETERS NULL }|
          { OID id-sha512 PARAMETERS NULL }
      }

Appendix B. Supporting techniques

This section gives several examples of underlying functions supporting the encryption schemes in Section 7 and the encoding methods in Section 9. A range of techniques is given here to allow compatibility with existing applications as well as migration to new techniques. While these supporting techniques are appropriate for applications to implement, none of them is required to be implemented. It is expected that profiles for PKCS #1 v2.1 will be developed that specify particular supporting techniques. This section also gives object identifiers for the supporting techniques.

B.1 Hash functions

Hash functions are used in the operations contained in Sections 7 and 9. Hash functions are deterministic, meaning that the output is completely determined by the input. Hash functions take octet strings of variable length, and generate fixed length octet strings.
ToP   noToC   RFC3447 - Page 53
   The hash functions used in the operations contained in Sections 7 and
   9 should generally be collision-resistant.  This means that it is
   infeasible to find two distinct inputs to the hash function that
   produce the same output.  A collision-resistant hash function also
   has the desirable property of being one-way; this means that given an
   output, it is infeasible to find an input whose hash is the specified
   output.  In addition to the requirements, the hash function should
   yield a mask generation function (Appendix B.2) with pseudorandom
   output.

   Six hash functions are given as examples for the encoding methods in
   this document: MD2 [33], MD5 [41], SHA-1 [38], and the proposed
   algorithms SHA-256, SHA-384, and SHA-512 [39].  For the RSAES-OAEP
   encryption scheme and EMSA-PSS encoding method, only SHA-1 and SHA-
   256/384/512 are recommended.  For the EMSA-PKCS1-v1_5 encoding
   method, SHA-1 or SHA-256/384/512 are recommended for new
   applications.  MD2 and MD5 are recommended only for compatibility
   with existing applications based on PKCS #1 v1.5.

   The object identifiers id-md2, id-md5, id-sha1, id-sha256, id-sha384,
   and id-sha512, identify the respective hash functions:

      id-md2      OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= {
          iso(1) member-body(2) us(840) rsadsi(113549)
          digestAlgorithm(2) 2
      }

      id-md5      OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= {
          iso(1) member-body(2) us(840) rsadsi(113549)
          digestAlgorithm(2) 5
      }

      id-sha1    OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= {
          iso(1) identified-organization(3) oiw(14) secsig(3)
          algorithms(2) 26
      }

      id-sha256    OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= {
          joint-iso-itu-t(2) country(16) us(840) organization(1)
          gov(101) csor(3) nistalgorithm(4) hashalgs(2) 1
      }

      id-sha384    OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= {
          joint-iso-itu-t(2) country(16) us(840) organization(1)
          gov(101) csor(3) nistalgorithm(4) hashalgs(2) 2
      }
ToP   noToC   RFC3447 - Page 54
      id-sha512    OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= {
          joint-iso-itu-t(2) country(16) us(840) organization(1)
          gov(101) csor(3) nistalgorithm(4) hashalgs(2) 3
      }

   The parameters field associated with id-md2 and id-md5 in a value of
   type AlgorithmIdentifier shall have a value of type NULL.

   The parameters field associated with id-sha1, id-sha256, id-sha384,
   and id-sha512 should be omitted, but if present, shall have a value
   of type NULL.

   Note.  Version 1.5 of PKCS #1 also allowed for the use of MD4 in
   signature schemes.  The cryptanalysis of MD4 has progressed
   significantly in the intervening years.  For example, Dobbertin [18]
   demonstrated how to find collisions for MD4 and that the first two
   rounds of MD4 are not one-way [20].  Because of these results and
   others (e.g., [8]), MD4 is no longer recommended.  There have also
   been advances in the cryptanalysis of MD2 and MD5, although not
   enough to warrant removal from existing applications.  Rogier and
   Chauvaud [43] demonstrated how to find collisions in a modified
   version of MD2.  No one has demonstrated how to find collisions for
   the full MD5 algorithm, although partial results have been found
   (e.g., [9][19]).

   To address these concerns, SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384, or SHA-512 are
   recommended for new applications.  As of today, the best (known)
   collision attacks against these hash functions are generic attacks
   with complexity 2^(L/2), where L is the bit length of the hash
   output.  For the signature schemes in this document, a collision
   attack is easily translated into a signature forgery.  Therefore, the
   value L / 2 should be at least equal to the desired security level in
   bits of the signature scheme (a security level of B bits means that
   the best attack has complexity 2^B).  The same rule of thumb can be
   applied to RSAES-OAEP; it is recommended that the bit length of the
   seed (which is equal to the bit length of the hash output) be twice
   the desired security level in bits.

B.2 Mask generation functions

A mask generation function takes an octet string of variable length and a desired output length as input, and outputs an octet string of the desired length. There may be restrictions on the length of the input and output octet strings, but such bounds are generally very large. Mask generation functions are deterministic; the octet string output is completely determined by the input octet string. The output of a mask generation function should be pseudorandom: Given one part of the output but not the input, it should be infeasible to
ToP   noToC   RFC3447 - Page 55
   predict another part of the output.  The provable security of RSAES-
   OAEP and RSASSA-PSS relies on the random nature of the output of the
   mask generation function, which in turn relies on the random nature
   of the underlying hash.

   One mask generation function is given here: MGF1, which is based on a
   hash function.  MGF1 coincides with the mask generation functions
   defined in IEEE Std 1363-2000 [26] and the draft ANSI X9.44 [1].
   Future versions of this document may define other mask generation
   functions.

B.2.1 MGF1

MGF1 is a Mask Generation Function based on a hash function. MGF1 (mgfSeed, maskLen) Options: Hash hash function (hLen denotes the length in octets of the hash function output) Input: mgfSeed seed from which mask is generated, an octet string maskLen intended length in octets of the mask, at most 2^32 hLen Output: mask mask, an octet string of length maskLen Error: "mask too long" Steps: 1. If maskLen > 2^32 hLen, output "mask too long" and stop. 2. Let T be the empty octet string. 3. For counter from 0 to \ceil (maskLen / hLen) - 1, do the following: a. Convert counter to an octet string C of length 4 octets (see Section 4.1): C = I2OSP (counter, 4) . b. Concatenate the hash of the seed mgfSeed and C to the octet string T: T = T || Hash(mgfSeed || C) .
ToP   noToC   RFC3447 - Page 56
   4. Output the leading maskLen octets of T as the octet string mask.

   The object identifier id-mgf1 identifies the MGF1 mask generation
   function:

   id-mgf1    OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { pkcs-1 8 }

   The parameters field associated with this OID in a value of type
   AlgorithmIdentifier shall have a value of type hashAlgorithm,
   identifying the hash function on which MGF1 is based.

Appendix D. Intellectual Property Considerations

The RSA public-key cryptosystem is described in U.S. Patent 4,405,829, which expired on September 20, 2000. RSA Security Inc. makes no other patent claims on the constructions described in this document, although specific underlying techniques may be covered. Multi-prime RSA is described in U.S. Patent 5,848,159. The University of California has indicated that it has a patent pending on the PSS signature scheme [5]. It has also provided a letter to the IEEE P1363 working group stating that if the PSS signature scheme is included in an IEEE standard, "the University of California will, when that standard is adopted, FREELY license any conforming implementation of PSS as a technique for achieving a digital signature with appendix" [23]. The PSS signature scheme is specified in the IEEE P1363a draft [27], which was in ballot resolution when this document was published.

Appendix E. Revision history

Versions 1.0 - 1.3 Versions 1.0 - 1.3 were distributed to participants in RSA Data Security, Inc.'s Public-Key Cryptography Standards meetings in February and March 1991. Version 1.4 Version 1.4 was part of the June 3, 1991 initial public release of PKCS. Version 1.4 was published as NIST/OSI Implementors' Workshop document SEC-SIG-91-18. Version 1.5 Version 1.5 incorporated several editorial changes, including updates to the references and the addition of a revision history. The following substantive changes were made: - Section 10: "MD4 with RSA" signature and verification processes were added. - Section 11: md4WithRSAEncryption object identifier was added. Version 1.5 was republished as IETF RFC 2313. Version 2.0 Version 2.0 incorporated major editorial changes in terms of the document structure and introduced the RSAES-OAEP encryption scheme. This version continued to support the encryption and signature processes in version 1.5, although the hash algorithm MD4 was no longer allowed due to cryptanalytic advances in the intervening years. Version 2.0 was republished as IETF RFC 2437 [35].
ToP   noToC   RFC3447 - Page 65
   Version 2.1

      Version 2.1 introduces multi-prime RSA and the RSASSA-PSS
      signature scheme with appendix along with several editorial
      improvements.  This version continues to support the schemes in
      version 2.0.

Appendix G. About PKCS

The Public-Key Cryptography Standards are specifications produced by RSA Laboratories in cooperation with secure systems developers worldwide for the purpose of accelerating the deployment of public-key cryptography. First published in 1991 as a result of meetings with a small group of early adopters of public-key technology, the PKCS documents have become widely referenced and implemented. Contributions from the PKCS series have become part of many formal and de facto standards, including ANSI X9 and IEEE P1363 documents, PKIX, SET, S/MIME, SSL/TLS, and WAP/WTLS. Further development of PKCS occurs through mailing list discussions and occasional workshops, and suggestions for improvement are welcome.

Appendix H. Corrections Made During RFC Publication Process

The following corrections were made in converting the PKCS #1 v2.1 document to this RFC: * The requirement that the parameters in an AlgorithmIdentifier value for id-sha1, id-sha256, id-sha384, and id-sha512 be NULL was changed to a recommendation that the parameters be omitted (while still allowing the parameters to be NULL). This is to align with the definitions originally promulgated by NIST. Implementations MUST accept AlgorithmIdentifier values both without parameters and with NULL parameters. * The notes after RSADP and RSASP1 (Secs. 5.1.2 and 5.2.1) were corrected to refer to step 2.b rather than 2.a. * References [25], [27] and [32] were updated to reflect new publication data. These corrections will be reflected in future editions of PKCS #1 v2.1.
