I believe there are only a small number of (hashAlgorithm, mgf alg,
salt length) combinations that need to be supported, namely these two:
(sha256, mgf1-SHA256, 32 bytes)
(sha384, mgf1-SHA384, 48 bytes)
I think that in NSS, these combinations can be identified internally
with some new OID, perhaps in the Netscape OID tree.
Note that the PSS RFC says that SHA-1 is the default for everything.
By not supporting SHA-1 at all, we avoid having to deal with any
implicit encodings of the various parameters. The PSS RFC also says
that SHA-1 is mandatory, but that silliness is just an invitation for
somebody to get their name as an author of a new, reasonable, RFC.
Thoughts?
Cheers,
Brian
