Scope:

This document specifies digital signature mechanisms with appendix whose security is based on the

discrete logarithm problem.

This document provides

— a general description of a digital signature with appendix mechanism, and

— a variety of mechanisms that provide digital signatures with appendix.

For each mechanism, this document specifies

— the process of generating a pair of keys,

— the process of producing signatures, and

— the process of verifying signatures.

 

Annex A defines object identifiers assigned to the digital signature mechanisms specified in this

document, and defines algorithm parameter structures.

 

Annex B defines conversion functions of FE2I, I2FE, FE2BS, BS2I, I2BS, I2OS and OS2I used in this

document.

 

Annex D defines how to generate DSA domain parameters

Project need:

To align Canadian requirements with those of the respective international standards being proposed for adoption. To maintain alignment between Canadian information and communication technology standards and each respective international standard.
