Idea for SoC-Project implementing PSS in NSS

2010-03-15 Thread Hanno Böck
Hi, I'm a student in computer science and I plan do my study thesis about RSA-PSS. Part of that could be implementing PSS in an open source project. A bit of background about PSS: Implementing RSA in real-world applications needs some kind of padding. Older methods, like the widespread pkcs #1
