NIST - Federal Information Processing Standard (FIP) Publication 186-3

NIST announces the adoption of FIPS 186-3, The Digital Signature Standard (see 
the Federal Register Notice). FIPS 186-3 is a revision of FIPS 186-2. The FIPS 
specifies three techniques for the generation and verification of digital 
signatures: DSA, ECDSA and RSA. This revision increases the length of the keys 
allowed for DSA, provides additional requirements for the use of ECDSA and RSA, 
and includes requirements for obtaining assurances necessary for valid digital 
signatures.
