Class DSSSignature
- Cloneable, ISignature
The DSS (Digital Signature Standard) algorithm makes use of the following
parameters:
- p: A prime modulus, where
2L-1 < p < 2L
for 512 <= L
<= 1024
and L
a multiple of 64
. - q: A prime divisor of
p - 1
, where 2159
< q < 2160
. - g: Where
g = h(p-1)/q mod p
, where
h
is any integer with 1 < h < p - 1
such
that h (p-1)/q mod p > 1
(g
has order
q mod p
). - x: A randomly or pseudorandomly generated integer with
0 < x
< q
. - y:
y = gx mod p
. - k: A randomly or pseudorandomly generated integer with
0 < k
< q
.
The integers
p
,
q
, and
g
can be
public and can be common to a group of users. A user's private and public
keys are
x
and
y
, respectively. They are
normally fixed for a period of time. Parameters
x
and
k
are used for signature generation only, and must be kept
secret. Parameter
k
must be regenerated for each signature.
The signature of a message
M
is the pair of numbers
r
and
s
computed according to the equations below:
r = (gk mod p) mod q
ands = (k-1(SHA(M) + xr)) mod q
.
In the above,
k-1
is the multiplicative inverse of
k
,
mod q
; i.e.,
(k-1 k) mod q =
1
and
0 < k-1 < q
. The value of
SHA(M)
is a 160-bit string output by the Secure Hash Algorithm specified in FIPS
180. For use in computing
s
, this string must be converted to
an integer.
As an option, one may wish to check if
r == 0
or
s == 0
.
If either
r == 0
or
s == 0
, a new value of
k
should be generated and the signature should be recalculated
(it is extremely unlikely that
r == 0
or
s == 0
if
signatures are generated properly).
The signature is transmitted along with the message to the verifier.
