1. Introduction
This document provides recommendations for the implementation of
public-key cryptography based on the RSA algorithm [RSA], covering
the following aspects:
o Cryptographic primitives
o Encryption schemes
o Signature schemes with appendix
o ASN.1 syntax for representing keys and for identifying the schemes
The recommendations are intended for general application within
computer and communications systems, and as such include a fair
amount of flexibility. It is expected that application standards
based on these specifications may include additional constraints.
The recommendations are intended to be compatible with the standards
IEEE 1363-2000 [IEEE1363], IEEE 1363a-2004 [IEEE1363A], and ANSI
X9.44-2007 [ANSIX944].
This document supersedes PKCS #1 version 2.1 [PKCS1_21] but includes
compatible techniques.
The organization of this document is as follows:
o Section 1 is an introduction.
Moriarty, et al. Expires October 9, 2016 [Page 3]
Internet-Draft PKCS #1 v2.2 April 2016
o Section 2 defines some notation used in this document.
o Section 3 defines the RSA public and private key types.
o Sections 4 and 5 define several primitives, or basic mathematical
operations. Data conversion primitives are in Section 4, and
cryptographic primitives (encryption-decryption, signature-
verification) are in Section 5.
o Sections 6, 7, and 8 deal with the encryption and signature
schemes in this document. Section 6 gives an overview. Along
with the methods found in PKCS #1 v1.5, Section 7 defines an OAEP-
based [OAEP] encryption scheme and Section 8 defines a PSS-based
[RSARABIN][PSS] signature scheme with appendix.
o Section 9 defines the encoding methods for the signature schemes
in Section 8.
o Appendix A defines the ASN.1 syntax for the keys defined in
Section 3 and the schemes in Sections 7 and 8.
o Appendix B defines the hash functions and the mask generation
function used in this document, including ASN.1 syntax for the
techniques.
o Appendix C gives an ASN.1 module.
o Appendices D, E, and F cover intellectual property issues, outline
the revision history of PKCS #1, and provide general information
about the Public-Key Cryptography Standards.

Note. The CRT can be applied in a non-recursive as well as a

Garner's algorithm [GARNER] is used. See also Note 1 in Section 3.2.
3. Key types
Two key types are employed in the primitives and schemes defined in
this document: RSA public key and RSA private key. Together, an RSA
public key and an RSA private key form an RSA key pair.
This specification supports so-called "multi-prime" RSA where the
modulus may have more than two prime factors. The benefit of multi-
prime RSA is lower computational cost for the decryption and
signature primitives, provided that the CRT (Chinese Remainder
Theorem) is used. Better performance can be achieved on single
processor platforms, but to a greater extent on multiprocessor
platforms, where the modular exponentiations involved can be done in
parallel.
For a discussion on how multi-prime affects the security of the RSA
cryptosystem, the reader is referred to [SILVERMAN].
3.1. RSA public key
For the purposes of this document, an RSA public key consists of two
components:
n the RSA modulus, a positive integer
e the RSA public exponent, a positive integer
In a valid RSA public key, the RSA modulus n is a product of u
distinct odd primes r_i, i = 1, 2, ..., u, where u >= 2, and the RSA
public exponent e is an integer between 3 and n - 1 satisfying GCD(e,
\lambda(n)) = 1, where \lambda(n) = LCM(r_1 - 1, ..., r_u - 1). By
convention, the first two primes r_1 and r_2 may also be denoted p
and q respectively.
Moriarty, et al. Expires October 9, 2016 [Page 7]
Internet-Draft PKCS #1 v2.2 April 2016
A recommended syntax for interchanging RSA public keys between
implementations is given in Appendix A.1.1; an implementation's
internal representation may differ.
3.2. RSA private key
For the purposes of this document, an RSA private key may have either
of two representations.
1. The first representation consists of the pair (n, d), where
the components have the following meanings:
n the RSA modulus, a positive integer
d the RSA private exponent, a positive integer
2. The second representation consists of a quintuple (p, q, dP,
dQ, qInv) and a (possibly empty) sequence of triplets (r_i, d_i,
t_i), i = 3, ..., u, one for each prime not in the quintuple,
where the components have the following meanings:
p the first factor, a positive integer
q the second factor, a positive integer
dP the first factor's CRT exponent, a positive integer
dQ the second factor's CRT exponent, a positive integer
qInv the (first) CRT coefficient, a positive integer
r_i the i-th factor, a positive integer
d_i the i-th factor's CRT exponent, a positive integer
t_i the i-th factor's CRT coefficient, a positive integer
In a valid RSA private key with the first representation, the RSA
modulus n is the same as in the corresponding RSA public key and is
the product of u distinct odd primes r_i, i = 1, 2, ..., u, where u
>= 2. The RSA private exponent d is a positive integer less than n
satisfying
e * d == 1 (mod \lambda(n)),
where e is the corresponding RSA public exponent and \lambda(n) is
defined as in Section 3.1.
In a valid RSA private key with the second representation, the two
factors p and q are the first two prime factors of the RSA modulus n
(i.e., r_1 and r_2), the CRT exponents dP and dQ are positive
integers less than p and q respectively satisfying
e * dP == 1 (mod (p-1))
e * dQ == 1 (mod (q-1)) ,
Moriarty, et al. Expires October 9, 2016 [Page 8]
Internet-Draft PKCS #1 v2.2 April 2016
and the CRT coefficient qInv is a positive integer less than p
satisfying
q * qInv == 1 (mod p).
If u > 2, the representation will include one or more triplets (r_i,
d_i, t_i), i = 3, ..., u. The factors r_i are the additional prime
factors of the RSA modulus n. Each CRT exponent d_i (i = 3, ..., u)
satisfies
e * d_i == 1 (mod (r_i - 1)).
Each CRT coefficient t_i (i = 3, ..., u) is a positive integer less
than r_i satisfying
R_i * t_i == 1 (mod r_i) ,
where R_i = r_1 * r_2 * ... * r_(i-1).
A recommended syntax for interchanging RSA private keys between
implementations, which includes components from both representations,
is given in Appendix A.1.2; an implementation's internal
representation may differ.
Notes.
1. The definition of the CRT coefficients here and the formulas that
use them in the primitives in Section 5 generally follow Garner's
algorithm [GARNER] (see also Algorithm 14.71 in [HANDBOOK]).
However, for compatibility with the representations of RSA
private keys in PKCS #1 v2.0 and previous versions, the roles of
p and q are reversed compared to the rest of the primes. Thus,
the first CRT coefficient, qInv, is defined as the inverse of q
mod p, rather than as the inverse of R_1 mod r_2, i.e., of p mod
q.
2. Quisquater and Couvreur [FASTDEC] observed the benefit of
applying the Chinese Remainder Theorem to RSA operations.
4. Data conversion primitives
Two data conversion primitives are employed in the schemes defined in
this document:
o I2OSP - Integer-to-Octet-String primitive
o OS2IP - Octet-String-to-Integer primitive
Moriarty, et al. Expires October 9, 2016 [Page 9]
Internet-Draft PKCS #1 v2.2 April 2016
For the purposes of this document, and consistent with ASN.1 syntax,
an octet string is an ordered sequence of octets (eight-bit bytes).
The sequence is indexed from first (conventionally, leftmost) to last
(rightmost). For purposes of conversion to and from integers, the
first octet is considered the most significant in the following
conversion primitives.
4.1. I2OSP
I2OSP converts a nonnegative integer to an octet string of a
specified length.
I2OSP (x, xLen)
Input:
x nonnegative integer to be converted
xLen intended length of the resulting octet string
Output:
X corresponding octet string of length xLen
Error: "integer too large"
Steps:
1. If x >= 256^xLen, output "integer too large" and stop.
2. Write the integer x in its unique xLen-digit representation in
base 256:
x = x_(xLen-1) 256^(xLen-1) + x_(xLen-2) 256^(xLen-2) + ...
+ x_1 256 + x_0,
where 0 <= x_i < 256 (note that one or more leading digits
will be zero if x is less than 256^(xLen-1)).
3. Let the octet X_i have the integer value x_(xLen-i) for 1 <= i
<= xLen. Output the octet string
X = X_1 X_2 ... X_xLen.

Internet-Draft PKCS #1 v2.2 April 2016
4.2. OS2IP
OS2IP converts an octet string to a nonnegative integer.
OS2IP (X)
Input: X octet string to be converted
Output: x corresponding nonnegative integer
Steps:
1. Let X_1 X_2 ... X_xLen be the octets of X from first to last,
and let x_(xLen-i) be the integer value of the octet X_i for 1
<= i <= xLen.
2. Let x = x_(xLen-1) 256^(xLen-1) + x_(xLen-2) 256^(xLen-2) +
... + x_1 256 + x_0.
3. Output x.
5. Cryptographic primitives
Cryptographic primitives are basic mathematical operations on which
cryptographic schemes can be built. They are intended for
implementation in hardware or as software modules, and are not
intended to provide security apart from a scheme.
Four types of primitive are specified in this document, organized in
pairs: encryption and decryption; and signature and verification.
The specifications of the primitives assume that certain conditions
are met by the inputs, in particular that RSA public and private keys
are valid.
5.1. Encryption and decryption primitives
An encryption primitive produces a ciphertext representative from a
message representative under the control of a public key, and a
decryption primitive recovers the message representative from the
ciphertext representative under the control of the corresponding
private key.
One pair of encryption and decryption primitives is employed in the
encryption schemes defined in this document and is specified here:
RSAEP/RSADP. RSAEP and RSADP involve the same mathematical
operation, with different keys as input. The primitives defined here
are the same as IFEP-RSA/IFDP-RSA in IEEE 1363-2000 [IEEE1363]
Moriarty, et al. Expires October 9, 2016 [Page 11]
Internet-Draft PKCS #1 v2.2 April 2016
(except that support for multi-prime RSA has been added) and are
compatible with PKCS #1 v1.5.
The main mathematical operation in each primitive is exponentiation.
5.1.1. RSAEP
RSAEP ((n, e), m)
Input:
(n, e) RSA public key
m message representative, an integer between 0 and n - 1
Output: c ciphertext representative, an integer between 0 and n - 1
Error: "message representative out of range"
Assumption: RSA public key (n, e) is valid
Steps:
1. If the message representative m is not between 0 and n - 1,
output "message representative out of range" and stop.
2. Let c = m^e mod n.
3. Output c.
5.1.2. RSADP
RSADP (K, c)
Input:
K RSA private key, where K has one of the following forms:
+ a pair (n, d)
+ a quintuple (p, q, dP, dQ, qInv) and a possibly empty
sequence of triplets (r_i, d_i, t_i), i = 3, ..., u
c ciphertext representative, an integer between 0 and n - 1
Output: m message representative, an integer between 0 and n - 1
Error: "ciphertext representative out of range"
Moriarty, et al. Expires October 9, 2016 [Page 12]
Internet-Draft PKCS #1 v2.2 April 2016
Assumption: RSA private key K is valid
Steps:
1. If the ciphertext representative c is not between 0 and n - 1,
output "ciphertext representative out of range" and stop.
2. The message representative m is computed as follows.
a. If the first form (n, d) of K is used, let m = c^d mod n.
b. If the second form (p, q, dP, dQ, qInv) and (r_i, d_i,
t_i) of K is used, proceed as follows:
i. Let m_1 = c^dP mod p and m_2 = c^dQ mod q.
ii. If u > 2, let m_i = c^(d_i) mod r_i, i = 3, ...,
u.
iii. Let h = (m_1 - m_2) * qInv mod p.
iv. Let m = m_2 + q * h.
v. If u > 2, let R = r_1 and for i = 3 to u do
1. Let R = R * r_(i-1).
2. Let h = (m_i - m) * t_i mod r_i.
3. Let m = m + R * h.
3. Output m.
Note. Step 2.b can be rewritten as a single loop, provided that one
reverses the order of p and q. For consistency with PKCS #1 v2.0,
however, the first two primes p and q are treated separately from the
additional primes.
5.2. Signature and verification primitives
A signature primitive produces a signature representative from a
message representative under the control of a private key, and a
verification primitive recovers the message representative from the
signature representative under the control of the corresponding
public key. One pair of signature and verification primitives is
employed in the signature schemes defined in this document and is
specified here: RSASP1/RSAVP1.
Moriarty, et al. Expires October 9, 2016 [Page 13]
Internet-Draft PKCS #1 v2.2 April 2016
The primitives defined here are the same as IFSP-RSA1/IFVP-RSA1 in
IEEE 1363-2000 [IEEE1363] (except that support for multi-prime RSA
has been added) and are compatible with PKCS #1 v1.5.
The main mathematical operation in each primitive is exponentiation,
as in the encryption and decryption primitives of Section 5.1.
RSASP1 and RSAVP1 are the same as RSADP and RSAEP except for the
names of their input and output arguments; they are distinguished as
they are intended for different purposes.
5.2.1. RSASP1
RSASP1 (K, m)
Input:
K RSA private key, where K has one of the following forms:
- a pair (n, d)
- a quintuple (p, q, dP, dQ, qInv) and a (possibly empty)
sequence of triplets (r_i, d_i, t_i), i = 3, ..., u
m message representative, an integer between 0 and n - 1
Output:
s signature representative, an integer between 0 and n - 1
Error: "message representative out of range"
Assumption: RSA private key K is valid
Steps:
1. If the message representative m is not between 0 and n - 1,
output "message representative out of range" and stop.
2. The signature representative s is computed as follows.
a. If the first form (n, d) of K is used, let s = m^d mod n.
b. If the second form (p, q, dP, dQ, qInv) and (r_i, d_i,
t_i) of K is used, proceed as follows:
1. Let s_1 = m^dP mod p and s_2 = m^dQ mod q.
2. If u > 2, let s_i = m^(d_i) mod r_i, i = 3, ..., u.
3. Let h = (s_1 - s_2) * qInv mod p.
Moriarty, et al. Expires October 9, 2016 [Page 14]
Internet-Draft PKCS #1 v2.2 April 2016
4. Let s = s_2 + q * h.
5. If u > 2, let R = r_1 and for i = 3 to u do
a. Let R = R * r_(i-1).
b. Let h = (s_i - s) * t_i mod r_i.
c. Let s = s + R * h.
3. Output s.
Note. Step 2.b can be rewritten as a single loop, provided that one
reverses the order of p and q. For consistency with PKCS #1 v2.0,
however, the first two primes p and q are treated separately from the
additional primes.

6. Overview of schemes
A scheme combines cryptographic primitives and other techniques to
achieve a particular security goal. Two types of scheme are
specified in this document: encryption schemes and signature schemes
with appendix.
The schemes specified in this document are limited in scope in that
their operations consist only of steps to process data with an RSA
public or private key, and do not include steps for obtaining or
validating the key. Thus, in addition to the scheme operations, an
application will typically include key management operations by which
parties may select RSA public and private keys for a scheme
operation. The specific additional operations and other details are
outside the scope of this document.
As was the case for the cryptographic primitives (Section 5), the
specifications of scheme operations assume that certain conditions
are met by the inputs, in particular that RSA public and private keys
are valid. The behavior of an implementation is thus unspecified
when a key is invalid. The impact of such unspecified behavior
depends on the application. Possible means of addressing key
validation include explicit key validation by the application; key
validation within the public-key infrastructure; and assignment of
liability for operations performed with an invalid key to the party
who generated the key.
A generally good cryptographic practice is to employ a given RSA key
pair in only one scheme. This avoids the risk that vulnerability in
one scheme may compromise the security of the other, and may be
essential to maintain provable security. While RSAES-PKCS1-v1_5
(Section 7.2) and RSASSA-PKCS1-v1_5 (Section 8.2) have traditionally
been employed together without any known bad interactions (indeed,
this is the model introduced by PKCS #1 v1.5), such a combined use of
an RSA key pair is NOT RECOMMENDED for new applications.
To illustrate the risks related to the employment of an RSA key pair
in more than one scheme, suppose an RSA key pair is employed in both
RSAES-OAEP (Section 7.1) and RSAES-PKCS1-v1_5. Although RSAES-OAEP
by itself would resist attack, an opponent might be able to exploit a
weakness in the implementation of RSAES-PKCS1-v1_5 to recover
messages encrypted with either scheme. As another example, suppose
an RSA key pair is employed in both RSASSA-PSS (Section 8.1) and
RSASSA-PKCS1-v1_5. Then the security proof for RSASSA-PSS would no
longer be sufficient since the proof does not account for the
possibility that signatures might be generated with a second scheme.
Similar considerations may apply if an RSA key pair is employed in
one of the schemes defined here and in a variant defined elsewhere.

7. Encryption schemes
For the purposes of this document, an encryption scheme consists of
an encryption operation and a decryption operation, where the
encryption operation produces a ciphertext from a message with a
recipient's RSA public key, and the decryption operation recovers the
message from the ciphertext with the recipient's corresponding RSA
private key.
An encryption scheme can be employed in a variety of applications. A
typical application is a key establishment protocol, where the
message contains key material to be delivered confidentially from one
party to another. For instance, PKCS #7 [RFC2315] employs such a
protocol to deliver a content-encryption key from a sender to a
recipient; the encryption schemes defined here would be suitable key-
encryption algorithms in that context.
Two encryption schemes are specified in this document: RSAES-OAEP and
RSAES-PKCS1-v1_5. RSAES-OAEP is REQUIRED to be supported for new
applications; RSAES-PKCS1-v1_5 is included only for compatibility
with existing applications.
The encryption schemes given here follow a general model similar to
that employed in IEEE 1363-2000 [IEEE1363], combining encryption and
decryption primitives with an encoding method for encryption. The
encryption operations apply a message encoding operation to a message
to produce an encoded message, which is then converted to an integer
message representative. An encryption primitive is applied to the
message representative to produce the ciphertext. Reversing this,
the decryption operations apply a decryption primitive to the
ciphertext to recover a message representative, which is then
converted to an octet string encoded message. A message decoding
operation is applied to the encoded message to recover the message
and verify the correctness of the decryption.
To avoid implementation weaknesses related to the way errors are
handled within the decoding operation (see [BLEICHENBACHER] and
[MANGER]), the encoding and decoding operations for RSAES-OAEP and
RSAES-PKCS1-v1_5 are embedded in the specifications of the respective
encryption schemes rather than defined in separate specifications.
Both encryption schemes are compatible with the corresponding schemes
in PKCS #1 v2.1.
7.1. RSAES-OAEP
RSAES-OAEP combines the RSAEP and RSADP primitives (Sections 5.1.1
and 5.1.2) with the EME-OAEP encoding method (step 2 in Section 7.1.1
and step 3 in Section 7.1.2). EME-OAEP is based on Bellare and
Moriarty, et al. Expires October 9, 2016 [Page 17]
Internet-Draft PKCS #1 v2.2 April 2016
Rogaway's Optimal Asymmetric Encryption scheme [OAEP]. (OAEP stands
for "Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding"). It is compatible with
the IFES scheme defined in IEEE 1363-2000 [IEEE1363], where the
encryption and decryption primitives are IFEP-RSA and IFDP-RSA and
the message encoding method is EME-OAEP. RSAES-OAEP can operate on
messages of length up to k - 2hLen -2 octets, where hLen is the
length of the output from the underlying hash function and k is the
length in octets of the recipient's RSA modulus.
Assuming that computing e-th roots modulo n is infeasible and the
mask generation function in RSAES-OAEP has appropriate properties,
RSAES-OAEP is semantically secure against adaptive chosen-ciphertext
attacks. This assurance is provable in the sense that the difficulty
of breaking RSAES-OAEP can be directly related to the difficulty of
inverting the RSA function, provided that the mask generation
function is viewed as a black box or random oracle; see [FOPS] and
the note below for further discussion.
Both the encryption and the decryption operations of RSAES-OAEP take
the value of a label L as input. In this version of PKCS #1, L is
the empty string; other uses of the label are outside the scope of
this document. See Appendix A.2.1 for the relevant ASN.1 syntax.
RSAES-OAEP is parameterized by the choice of hash function and mask
generation function. This choice should be fixed for a given RSA
key. Suggested hash and mask generation functions are given in
Appendix B.
Note. Past results have helpfully clarified the security properties
of the OAEP encoding method [OAEP] (roughly the procedure described
in step 2 in Section 7.1.1). The background is as follows. In 1994,
Bellare and Rogaway [OAEP] introduced a security concept that they
denoted plaintext awareness (PA94). They proved that if a
deterministic public-key encryption primitive (e.g., RSAEP) is hard
to invert without the private key, then the corresponding OAEP-based
encryption scheme is plaintext-aware (in the random oracle model),
meaning roughly that an adversary cannot produce a valid ciphertext
without actually "knowing"the underlying plaintext. Plaintext
awareness of an encryption scheme is closely related to the
resistance of the scheme against chosen-ciphertext attacks. In such
attacks, an adversary is given the opportunity to send queries to an
oracle simulating the decryption primitive. Using the results of
these queries, the adversary attempts to decrypt a challenge
ciphertext.
However, there are two flavors of chosen-ciphertext attacks, and PA94
implies security against only one of them. The difference relies on
what the adversary is allowed to do after she is given the challenge
Moriarty, et al. Expires October 9, 2016 [Page 18]
Internet-Draft PKCS #1 v2.2 April 2016
ciphertext. The indifferent attack scenario (denoted CCA1) does not
admit any queries to the decryption oracle after the adversary is
given the challenge ciphertext, whereas the adaptive scenario
(denoted CCA2) does (except that the decryption oracle refuses to
decrypt the challenge ciphertext once it is published). In 1998,
Bellare and Rogaway, together with Desai and Pointcheval [PA98], came
up with a new, stronger notion of plaintext awareness (PA98) that
does imply security against CCA2.
To summarize, there have been two potential sources for
misconception: that PA94 and PA98 are equivalent concepts; or that
CCA1 and CCA2 are equivalent concepts. Either assumption leads to
the conclusion that the Bellare-Rogaway paper implies security of
OAEP against CCA2, which it does not.
(Footnote: It might be fair to mention that PKCS #1 v2.0 cites [OAEP]
and claims that "a chosen ciphertext attack is ineffective against a
plaintext-aware encryption scheme such as RSAES-OAEP" without
specifying the kind of plaintext awareness or chosen ciphertext
attack considered.)
OAEP has never been proven secure against CCA2; in fact, Victor Shoup
[SHOUP] has demonstrated that such a proof does not exist in the
general case. Put briefly, Shoup showed that an adversary in the
CCA2 scenario who knows how to partially invert the encryption
primitive but does not know how to invert it completely may well be
able to break the scheme. For example, one may imagine an attacker
who is able to break RSAES-OAEP if she knows how to recover all but
the first 20 bytes of a random integer encrypted with RSAEP. Such an
attacker does not need to be able to fully invert RSAEP, because she
does not use the first 20 octets in her attack.
Still, RSAES-OAEP is secure against CCA2, which was proved by
Fujisaki, Okamoto, Pointcheval, and Stern [FOPS] shortly after the
announcement of Shoup's result. Using clever lattice reduction
techniques, they managed to show how to invert RSAEP completely given
a sufficiently large part of the pre-image. This observation,
combined with a proof that OAEP is secure against CCA2 if the
underlying encryption primitive is hard to partially invert, fills
the gap between what Bellare and Rogaway proved about RSAES-OAEP and
what some may have believed that they proved. Somewhat
paradoxically, we are hence saved by an ostensible weakness in RSAEP
(i.e., the whole inverse can be deduced from parts of it).
Unfortunately however, the security reduction is not efficient for
concrete parameters. While the proof successfully relates an
adversary A against the CCA2 security of RSAES-OAEP to an algorithm I
inverting RSA, the probability of success for I is only approximately
Moriarty, et al. Expires October 9, 2016 [Page 19]
Internet-Draft PKCS #1 v2.2 April 2016
\epsilon^2 / 2^18, where \epsilon is the probability of success for
A.
(Footnote: In [FOPS] the probability of success for the inverter was
\epsilon^2 / 4. The additional factor 1 / 2^16 is due to the eight
fixed zero bits at the beginning of the encoded message EM, which are
not present in the variant of OAEP considered in [FOPS] (I must apply
A twice to invert RSA, and each application corresponds to a factor 1
/ 2^8).)
In addition, the running time for I is approximately t^2, where t is
the running time of the adversary. The consequence is that we cannot
exclude the possibility that attacking RSAES-OAEP is considerably
easier than inverting RSA for concrete parameters. Still, the
existence of a security proof provides some assurance that the RSAES-
OAEP construction is sounder than ad hoc constructions such as RSAES-
PKCS1-v1_5.
Hybrid encryption schemes based on the RSA-KEM key encapsulation
paradigm offer tight proofs of security directly applicable to
concrete parameters; see [ISO18033] for discussion. Future versions
of PKCS #1 may specify schemes based on this paradigm.

Moriarty, et al. Expires October 9, 2016 [Page 23]
Internet-Draft PKCS #1 v2.2 April 2016
b. If the length of the ciphertext C is not k octets, output
"decryption error" and stop.
c. If k < 2hLen + 2, output "decryption error" and stop.
2. RSA decryption:

c = OS2IP (C).
b. Apply the RSADP decryption primitive (Section 5.1.2) to
the RSA private key K and the ciphertext representative c

g. Separate DB into an octet string lHash' of length hLen, a
(possibly empty) padding string PS consisting of octets

DB = lHash' || PS || 0x01 || M.
If there is no octet with hexadecimal value 0x01 to
separate PS from M, if lHash does not equal lHash', or if
Y is nonzero, output "decryption error" and stop. (See
the note below.)
4. Output the message M.
Note. Care must be taken to ensure that an opponent cannot
distinguish the different error conditions in Step 3.g, whether by
error message or timing, or, more generally, learn partial
information about the encoded message EM. Otherwise an opponent
may be able to obtain useful information about the decryption of
the ciphertext C, leading to a chosen-ciphertext attack such as
the one observed by Manger [MANGER].
7.2. RSAES-PKCS1-v1_5
RSAES-PKCS1-v1_5 combines the RSAEP and RSADP primitives (Sections
5.1.1 and 5.1.2) with the EME-PKCS1-v1_5 encoding method (step 1 in
Section 7.2.1 and step 3 in Section 7.2.2). It is mathematically
equivalent to the encryption scheme in PKCS #1 v1.5. RSAES-PKCS1-
v1_5 can operate on messages of length up to k - 11 octets (k is the
octet length of the RSA modulus), although care should be taken to
avoid certain attacks on low-exponent RSA due to Coppersmith,
Franklin, Patarin, and Reiter when long messages are encrypted (see
the third bullet in the notes below and [LOWEXP]; [NEWATTACK]
contains an improved attack). As a general rule, the use of this
scheme for encrypting an arbitrary message, as opposed to a randomly
generated key, is NOT RECOMMENDED.
It is possible to generate valid RSAES-PKCS1-v1_5 ciphertexts without
knowing the corresponding plaintexts, with a reasonable probability
of success. This ability can be exploited in a chosen- ciphertext
attack as shown in [BLEICHENBACHER]. Therefore, if RSAES-PKCS1-v1_5
is to be used, certain easily implemented countermeasures should be
taken to thwart the attack found in [BLEICHENBACHER]. Typical
examples include the addition of structure to the data to be encoded,
rigorous checking of PKCS #1 v1.5 conformance (and other redundancy)
in decrypted messages, and the consolidation of error messages in a
client-server protocol based on PKCS #1 v1.5. These can all be
effective countermeasures and do not involve changes to a PKCS #1
v1.5-based protocol. See [BKS] for a further discussion of these and
Moriarty, et al. Expires October 9, 2016 [Page 25]
Internet-Draft PKCS #1 v2.2 April 2016
other countermeasures. It has recently been shown that the security
of the SSL/TLS handshake protocol [RFC5246], which uses RSAES-
PKCS1-v1_5 and certain countermeasures, can be related to a variant
of the RSA problem; see [RSATLS] for discussion.
Note. The following passages describe some security recommendations
pertaining to the use of RSAES-PKCS1-v1_5. Recommendations from
version 1.5 of this document are included as well as new
recommendations motivated by cryptanalytic advances made in the
intervening years.
o It is RECOMMENDED that the pseudorandom octets in step 2 in
Section 7.2.1 be generated independently for each encryption
process, especially if the same data is input to more than one
encryption process. Haastad's results [HAASTAD] are one
motivation for this recommendation.
o The padding string PS in step 2 in Section 7.2.1 is at least eight
octets long, which is a security condition for public-key
operations that makes it difficult for an attacker to recover data
by trying all possible encryption blocks.
o The pseudorandom octets can also help thwart an attack due to
Coppersmith et al. [LOWEXP] (see [NEWATTACK] for an improvement
of the attack) when the size of the message to be encrypted is
kept small. The attack works on low-exponent RSA when similar
messages are encrypted with the same RSA public key. More
specifically, in one flavor of the attack, when two inputs to
RSAEP agree on a large fraction of bits (8/9) and low-exponent RSA
(e = 3) is used to encrypt both of them, it may be possible to
recover both inputs with the attack. Another flavor of the attack
is successful in decrypting a single ciphertext when a large
fraction (2/3) of the input to RSAEP is already known. For
typical applications, the message to be encrypted is short (e.g.,
a 128-bit symmetric key) so not enough information will be known
or common between two messages to enable the attack. However, if
a long message is encrypted, or if part of a message is known,
then the attack may be a concern. In any case, the RSAES-OAEP
scheme overcomes the attack.

and stop.
2. EME-PKCS1-v1_5 encoding:

RSAES-PKCS1-V1_5-DECRYPT (K, C)
Input:
K recipient's RSA private key
C ciphertext to be decrypted, an octet string of length k,
where k is the length in octets of the RSA modulus n
Output:
M message, an octet string of length at most k - 11

octets (or if k < 11), output "decryption error" and stop.
2. RSA decryption:
a. Convert the ciphertext C to an integer ciphertext
representative c (see Section 4.2):
c = OS2IP (C).
b. Apply the RSADP decryption primitive (Section 5.1.2) to
the RSA private key (n, d) and the ciphertext

If the first octet of EM does not have hexadecimal value 0x00,
if the second octet of EM does not have hexadecimal value
0x02, if there is no octet with hexadecimal value 0x00 to
separate PS from M, or if the length of PS is less than 8
octets, output "decryption error" and stop. (See the note
below.)
4. Output M.
Note. Care shall be taken to ensure that an opponent cannot
distinguish the different error conditions in Step 3, whether by
error message or timing. Otherwise an opponent may be able to
obtain useful information about the decryption of the ciphertext
C, leading to a strengthened version of Bleichenbacher's attack
[BLEICHENBACHER]; compare to Manger's attack [MANGER].
8. Signature scheme with appendix
For the purposes of this document, a signature scheme with appendix
consists of a signature generation operation and a signature
verification operation, where the signature generation operation
produces a signature from a message with a signer's RSA private key,
and the signature verification operation verifies the signature on
the message with the signer's corresponding RSA public key. To
verify a signature constructed with this type of scheme it is
necessary to have the message itself. In this way, signature schemes
with appendix are distinguished from signature schemes with message
recovery, which are not supported in this document.
A signature scheme with appendix can be employed in a variety of
applications. For instance, the signature schemes with appendix
defined here would be suitable signature algorithms for X.509
certificates [ISO9594]. Related signature schemes could be employed
in PKCS #7 [RFC2315], although for technical reasons the current
version of PKCS #7 separates a hash function from a signature scheme,
which is different than what is done here; see the note in
Appendix A.2.3 for more discussion.
Two signature schemes with appendix are specified in this document:
RSASSA-PSS and RSASSA-PKCS1-v1_5. Although no attacks are known
against RSASSA-PKCS1-v1_5, in the interest of increased robustness,
RSASSA-PSS is REQUIRED in new applications. RSASSA-PKCS1-v1_5 is
included only for compatibility with existing applications.
The signature schemes with appendix given here follow a general model
similar to that employed in IEEE 1363-2000 [IEEE1363], combining
signature and verification primitives with an encoding method for
signatures. The signature generation operations apply a message
Moriarty, et al. Expires October 9, 2016 [Page 29]
Internet-Draft PKCS #1 v2.2 April 2016
encoding operation to a message to produce an encoded message, which
is then converted to an integer message representative. A signature
primitive is applied to the message representative to produce the
signature. Reversing this, the signature verification operations
apply a signature verification primitive to the signature to recover
a message representative, which is then converted to an octet string
encoded message. A verification operation is applied to the message
and the encoded message to determine whether they are consistent.
If the encoding method is deterministic (e.g., EMSA-PKCS1-v1_5), the
verification operation may apply the message encoding operation to
the message and compare the resulting encoded message to the
previously derived encoded message. If there is a match, the
signature is considered valid. If the method is randomized (e.g.,
EMSA-PSS), the verification operation is typically more complicated.
For example, the verification operation in EMSA-PSS extracts the
random salt and a hash output from the encoded message and checks
whether the hash output, the salt, and the message are consistent;
the hash output is a deterministic function in terms of the message
and the salt. For both signature schemes with appendix defined in
this document, the signature generation and signature verification
operations are readily implemented as "single-pass" operations if the
signature is placed after the message. See PKCS #7 [RFC2315] for an
example format in the case of RSASSA-PKCS1-v1_5.
8.1. RSASSA-PSS
RSASSA-PSS combines the RSASP1 and RSAVP1 primitives with the EMSA-
PSS encoding method. It is compatible with the IFSSA scheme as
amended in the IEEE 1363a-2004 [IEEE1363A], where the signature and
verification primitives are IFSP-RSA1 and IFVP-RSA1 as defined in
IEEE 1363-2000 [IEEE1363] and the message encoding method is EMSA4.
EMSA4 is slightly more general than EMSA-PSS as it acts on bit
strings rather than on octet strings. EMSA-PSS is equivalent to
EMSA4 restricted to the case that the operands as well as the hash
and salt values are octet strings.
The length of messages on which RSASSA-PSS can operate is either
unrestricted or constrained by a very large number, depending on the
hash function underlying the EMSA-PSS encoding method.
Assuming that computing e-th roots modulo n is infeasible and the
hash and mask generation functions in EMSA-PSS have appropriate
properties, RSASSA-PSS provides secure signatures. This assurance is
provable in the sense that the difficulty of forging signatures can
be directly related to the difficulty of inverting the RSA function,
provided that the hash and mask generation functions are viewed as
black boxes or random oracles. The bounds in the security proof are
Moriarty, et al. Expires October 9, 2016 [Page 30]
Internet-Draft PKCS #1 v2.2 April 2016
essentially "tight", meaning that the success probability and running
time for the best forger against RSASSA-PSS are very close to the
corresponding parameters for the best RSA inversion algorithm; see
[RSARABIN][PSSPROOF][JONSSON] for further discussion.
In contrast to the RSASSA-PKCS1-v1_5 signature scheme, a hash
function identifier is not embedded in the EMSA-PSS encoded message,
so in theory it is possible for an adversary to substitute a
different (and potentially weaker) hash function than the one
selected by the signer. Therefore, it is RECOMMENDED that the EMSA-
PSS mask generation function be based on the same hash function. In
this manner the entire encoded message will be dependent on the hash
function and it will be difficult for an opponent to substitute a
different hash function than the one intended by the signer. This
matching of hash functions is only for the purpose of preventing hash
function substitution, and is not necessary if hash function
substitution is addressed by other means (e.g., the verifier accepts
only a designated hash function). See [HASHID] for further
discussion of these points. The provable security of RSASSA-PSS does
not rely on the hash function in the mask generation function being
the same as the hash function applied to the message.
RSASSA-PSS is different from other RSA-based signature schemes in
that it is probabilistic rather than deterministic, incorporating a
randomly generated salt value. The salt value enhances the security
of the scheme by affording a "tighter" security proof than
deterministic alternatives such as Full Domain Hashing (FDH); see
[RSARABIN] for discussion. However, the randomness is not critical
to security. In situations where random generation is not possible,
a fixed value or a sequence number could be employed instead, with
the resulting provable security similar to that of FDH [FDH].
8.1.1. Signature generation operation
RSASSA-PSS-SIGN (K, M)
Input:
K signer's RSA private key
M message to be signed, an octet string
Output:
S signature, an octet string of length k, where k is the
length in octets of the RSA modulus n
Errors: "message too long;" "encoding error"
Moriarty, et al. Expires October 9, 2016 [Page 31]
Internet-Draft PKCS #1 v2.2 April 2016
Steps:
1. EMSA-PSS encoding: Apply the EMSA-PSS encoding operation
(Section 9.1.1) to the message M to produce an encoded message
EM of length \ceil ((modBits - 1)/8) octets such that the bit
length of the integer OS2IP (EM) (see Section 4.2) is at most
modBits - 1, where modBits is the length in bits of the RSA
modulus n:
EM = EMSA-PSS-ENCODE (M, modBits - 1).
Note that the octet length of EM will be one less than k if
modBits - 1 is divisible by 8 and equal to k otherwise. If
the encoding operation outputs "message too long," output
"message too long" and stop. If the encoding operation
outputs "encoding error," output "encoding error" and stop.
2. RSA signature:
a. Convert the encoded message EM to an integer message
representative m (see Section 4.2):
m = OS2IP (EM).
b. Apply the RSASP1 signature primitive (Section 5.2.1) to
the RSA private key K and the message representative m to
produce an integer signature representative s:
s = RSASP1 (K, m).
c. Convert the signature representative s to a signature S of
length k octets (see Section 4.1):
S = I2OSP (s, k).
3. Output the signature S.
8.1.2. Signature verification operation
RSASSA-PSS-VERIFY ((n, e), M, S)
Input:
(n, e) signer's RSA public key
M message whose signature is to be verified, an octet string
S signature to be verified, an octet string of length k, where
k is the length in octets of the RSA modulus n
Moriarty, et al. Expires October 9, 2016 [Page 32]
Internet-Draft PKCS #1 v2.2 April 2016
Output: "valid signature" or "invalid signature"
Steps:
1. Length checking: If the length of the signature S is not k
octets, output "invalid signature" and stop.
2. RSA verification:
a. Convert the signature S to an integer signature
representative s (see Section 4.2):
s = OS2IP (S).
b. Apply the RSAVP1 verification primitive (Section 5.2.2) to
the RSA public key (n, e) and the signature representative
s to produce an integer message representative m:
m = RSAVP1 ((n, e), s).
If RSAVP1 output "signature representative out of range,"
output "invalid signature" and stop.
c. Convert the message representative m to an encoded message
EM of length emLen = \ceil ((modBits - 1)/8) octets, where
modBits is the length in bits of the RSA modulus n (see
Section 4.1):
EM = I2OSP (m, emLen).
Note that emLen will be one less than k if modBits - 1 is
divisible by 8 and equal to k otherwise. If I2OSP outputs
"integer too large," output "invalid signature" and stop.
3. EMSA-PSS verification: Apply the EMSA-PSS verification
operation (Section 9.1.2) to the message M and the encoded
message EM to determine whether they are consistent:
Result = EMSA-PSS-VERIFY (M, EM, modBits - 1).
4. If Result = "consistent," output "valid signature."
Otherwise, output "invalid signature."
8.2. RSASSA-PKCS1-v1_5
RSASSA-PKCS1-v1_5 combines the RSASP1 and RSAVP1 primitives with the
EMSA-PKCS1-v1_5 encoding method. It is compatible with the IFSSA
scheme defined in IEEE 1363-2000 [IEEE1363], where the signature and
Moriarty, et al. Expires October 9, 2016 [Page 33]
Internet-Draft PKCS #1 v2.2 April 2016
verification primitives are IFSP-RSA1 and IFVP-RSA1 and the message
encoding method is EMSA-PKCS1-v1_5 (which is not defined in IEEE
1363-2000, but is in the IEEE 1363a-2004 [IEEE1363A]).
The length of messages on which RSASSA-PKCS1-v1_5 can operate is
either unrestricted or constrained by a very large number, depending
on the hash function underlying the EMSA-PKCS1-v1_5 method.
Assuming that computing e-th roots modulo n is infeasible and the
hash function in EMSA-PKCS1-v1_5 has appropriate properties, RSASSA-
PKCS1-v1_5 is conjectured to provide secure signatures. More
precisely, forging signatures without knowing the RSA private key is
conjectured to be computationally infeasible. Also, in the encoding
method EMSA-PKCS1-v1_5, a hash function identifier is embedded in the
encoding. Because of this feature, an adversary trying to find a
message with the same signature as a previously signed message must
find collisions of the particular hash function being used; attacking
a different hash function than the one selected by the signer is not
useful to the adversary. See [HASHID] for further discussion.
Note: As noted in PKCS #1 v1.5, the EMSA-PKCS1-v1_5 encoding method
has the property that the encoded message, converted to an integer
message representative, is guaranteed to be large and at least
somewhat "random". This prevents attacks of the kind proposed by
Desmedt and Odlyzko [CHOSEN] where multiplicative relationships
between message representatives are developed by factoring the
message representatives into a set of small values (e.g., a set of
small primes). Coron, Naccache, and Stern [PADDING] showed that a
stronger form of this type of attack could be quite effective against
some instances of the ISO/IEC 9796-2 signature scheme. They also
analyzed the complexity of this type of attack against the EMSA-
PKCS1-v1_5 encoding method and concluded that an attack would be
impractical, requiring more operations than a collision search on the
underlying hash function (i.e., more than 2^80 operations).
Coppersmith, Halevi, and Jutla [FORGERY] subsequently extended Coron
et al.'s attack to break the ISO/IEC 9796-1 signature scheme with
message recovery. The various attacks illustrate the importance of
carefully constructing the input to the RSA signature primitive,
particularly in a signature scheme with message recovery.
Accordingly, the EMSA-PKCS-v1_5 encoding method explicitly includes a
hash operation and is not intended for signature schemes with message
recovery. Moreover, while no attack is known against the EMSA-PKCS-
v1_5 encoding method, a gradual transition to EMSA-PSS is recommended
as a precaution against future developments.

Internet-Draft PKCS #1 v2.2 April 2016
8.2.1. Signature generation operation
RSASSA-PKCS1-V1_5-SIGN (K, M)
Input:
K signer's RSA private key
M message to be signed, an octet string
Output:
S signature, an octet string of length k, where k is the
length in octets of the RSA modulus n
Errors: "message too long"; "RSA modulus too short"
Steps:
1. EMSA-PKCS1-v1_5 encoding: Apply the EMSA-PKCS1-v1_5 encoding
operation (Section 9.2) to the message M to produce an encoded
message EM of length k octets:
EM = EMSA-PKCS1-V1_5-ENCODE (M, k).
If the encoding operation outputs "message too long," output
"message too long" and stop. If the encoding operation
outputs "intended encoded message length too short," output
"RSA modulus too short" and stop.
2. RSA signature:
a. Convert the encoded message EM to an integer message
representative m (see Section 4.2):
m = OS2IP (EM).
b. Apply the RSASP1 signature primitive (Section 5.2.1) to
the RSA private key K and the message representative m to
produce an integer signature representative s:
s = RSASP1 (K, m).
c. Convert the signature representative s to a signature S of
length k octets (see Section 4.1):
S = I2OSP (s, k).
3. Output the signature S.

Internet-Draft PKCS #1 v2.2 April 2016
8.2.2. Signature verification operation
RSASSA-PKCS1-V1_5-VERIFY ((n, e), M, S)
Input:
(n, e) signer's RSA public key
M message whose signature is to be verified, an octet string
S signature to be verified, an octet string of length k, where
k is the length in octets of the RSA modulus n
Output "valid signature" or "invalid signature"
Errors: "message too long"; "RSA modulus too short"
Steps:
1. Length checking: If the length of the signature S is not k
octets, output "invalid signature" and stop.
2. RSA verification:
a. Convert the signature S to an integer signature
representative s (see Section 4.2):
s = OS2IP (S).
b. Apply the RSAVP1 verification primitive (Section 5.2.2) to
the RSA public key (n, e) and the signature representative
s to produce an integer message representative m:
m = RSAVP1 ((n, e), s).
If RSAVP1 outputs "signature representative out of range,"
output "invalid signature" and stop.
c. Convert the message representative m to an encoded message
EM of length k octets (see Section 4.1):
EM' = I2OSP (m, k).
If I2OSP outputs "integer too large," output "invalid
signature" and stop.
3. EMSA-PKCS1-v1_5 encoding: Apply the EMSA-PKCS1-v1_5 encoding
operation (Section 9.2) to the message M to produce a second
encoded message EM' of length k octets:
Moriarty, et al. Expires October 9, 2016 [Page 36]
Internet-Draft PKCS #1 v2.2 April 2016
EM' = EMSA-PKCS1-V1_5-ENCODE (M, k).
If the encoding operation outputs "message too long," output
"message too long" and stop. If the encoding operation
outputs "intended encoded message length too short," output
"RSA modulus too short" and stop.
4. Compare the encoded message EM and the second encoded message
EM'. If they are the same, output "valid signature";
otherwise, output "invalid signature."
Note. Another way to implement the signature verification
operation is to apply a "decoding" operation (not specified in
this document) to the encoded message to recover the underlying
hash value, and then to compare it to a newly computed hash value.
This has the advantage that it requires less intermediate storage
(two hash values rather than two encoded messages), but the
disadvantage that it requires additional code.
9. Encoding methods for signatures with appendix
Encoding methods consist of operations that map between octet string
messages and octet string encoded messages, which are converted to
and from integer message representatives in the schemes. The integer
message representatives are processed via the primitives. The
encoding methods thus provide the connection between the schemes,
which process messages, and the primitives.
An encoding method for signatures with appendix, for the purposes of
this document, consists of an encoding operation and optionally a
verification operation. An encoding operation maps a message M to an
encoded message EM of a specified length. A verification operation
determines whether a message M and an encoded message EM are
consistent, i.e., whether the encoded message EM is a valid encoding
of the message M.
The encoding operation may introduce some randomness, so that
different applications of the encoding operation to the same message
will produce different encoded messages, which has benefits for
provable security. For such an encoding method, both an encoding and
a verification operation are needed unless the verifier can reproduce
the randomness (e.g., by obtaining the salt value from the signer).
For a deterministic encoding method only an encoding operation is
needed.
Two encoding methods for signatures with appendix are employed in the
signature schemes and are specified here: EMSA-PSS and EMSA-
PKCS1-v1_5.
Moriarty, et al. Expires October 9, 2016 [Page 37]
Internet-Draft PKCS #1 v2.2 April 2016
9.1. EMSA-PSS
This encoding method is parameterized by the choice of hash function,
mask generation function, and salt length. These options should be
fixed for a given RSA key, except that the salt length can be
variable (see [JONSSON] for discussion). Suggested hash and mask
generation functions are given in Appendix B. The encoding method is
based on Bellare and Rogaway's Probabilistic Signature Scheme (PSS)
[RSARABIN][PSS]. It is randomized and has an encoding operation and
a verification operation.
Figure 2 illustrates the encoding operation.

Internet-Draft PKCS #1 v2.2 April 2016
1. The encoding method defined here differs from the one in Bellare
and Rogaway's submission to IEEE 1363a-2004 [PSS] in three
respects:
* It applies a hash function rather than a mask generation
function to the message. Even though the mask generation
function is based on a hash function, it seems more natural to
apply a hash function directly.
* The value that is hashed together with the salt value is the
string (0x)00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 || mHash rather than the
message M itself. Here, mHash is the hash of M. Note that
the hash function is the same in both steps. See Note 3 below
for further discussion. (Also, the name "salt" is used
instead of "seed", as it is more reflective of the value's
role.)
* The encoded message in EMSA-PSS has nine fixed bits; the first
bit is 0 and the last eight bits form a "trailer field", the
octet 0xbc. In the original scheme, only the first bit is
fixed. The rationale for the trailer field is for
compatibility with the Rabin-Williams IFSP-RW signature
primitive in IEEE 1363-2000 [IEEE1363] and the corresponding
primitive in ISO/IEC 9796-2:2010 [ISO9796].
2. Assuming that the mask generation function is based on a hash
function, it is RECOMMENDED that the hash function be the same as
the one that is applied to the message; see Section 8.1 for
further discussion.
3. Without compromising the security proof for RSASSA-PSS, one may
perform steps 1 and 2 of EMSA-PSS-ENCODE and EMSA-PSS-VERIFY (the
application of the hash function to the message) outside the
module that computes the rest of the signature operation, so that
mHash rather than the message M itself is input to the module.
In other words, the security proof for RSASSA-PSS still holds
even if an opponent can control the value of mHash. This is
convenient if the module has limited I/O bandwidth, e.g., a smart
card. Note that previous versions of PSS [RSARABIN][PSS] did not
have this property. Of course, it may be desirable for other
security reasons to have the module process the full message.
For instance, the module may need to "see" what it is signing if
it does not trust the component that computes the hash value.
4. Typical salt lengths in octets are hLen (the length of the output
of the hash function Hash) and 0. In both cases the security of
RSASSA-PSS can be closely related to the hardness of inverting
RSAVP1. Bellare and Rogaway [RSARABIN] give a tight lower bound
Moriarty, et al. Expires October 9, 2016 [Page 39]
Internet-Draft PKCS #1 v2.2 April 2016
for the security of the original RSA-PSS scheme, which
corresponds roughly to the former case, while Coron [FDH] gives a
lower bound for the related Full Domain Hashing scheme, which
corresponds roughly to the latter case. In [PSSPROOF] Coron
provides a general treatment with various salt lengths ranging
from 0 to hLen; see [IEEE1363A] for discussion. See also
[JONSSON], which adapts the security proofs in
[RSARABIN][PSSPROOF] to address the differences between the
original and the present version of RSA-PSS as listed in Note 1
above.
5. As noted in IEEE 1363a-2004 [IEEE1363A], the use of randomization
in signature schemes -- such as the salt value in EMSA-PSS -- may
provide a "covert channel" for transmitting information other
than the message being signed. For more on covert channels, see
[SIMMONS].

9.2. EMSA-PKCS1-v1_5
This encoding method is deterministic and only has an encoding
operation.
EMSA-PKCS1-v1_5-ENCODE (M, emLen)
Option:
Hash hash function (hLen denotes the length in octets of the hash
function output)
Input:
M message to be encoded
emLen intended length in octets of the encoded message, at least
tLen + 11, where tLen is the octet length of the DER
encoding T of a certain value computed during the encoding
operation
Output:
EM encoded message, an octet string of length emLen
Errors: "message too long"; "intended encoded message length too
short"

If the hash function outputs "message too long," output
"message too long" and stop.
2. Encode the algorithm ID for the hash function and the hash
value into an ASN.1 value of type DigestInfo (see

Moriarty, et al. Expires October 9, 2016 [Page 43]
Internet-Draft PKCS #1 v2.2 April 2016
DigestInfo ::= SEQUENCE {
digestAlgorithm AlgorithmIdentifier,
digest OCTET STRING
}

contains the hash value. Let T be the DER encoding of the
DigestInfo value (see the notes below) and let tLen be the

Notes.
1. For the six hash functions mentioned in Appendix B.1, the DER
encoding T of the DigestInfo value is equal to the following:
MD2: (0x)30 20 30 0c 06 08 2a 86 48 86 f7 0d 02 02 05 00 04
10 || H.
MD5: (0x)30 20 30 0c 06 08 2a 86 48 86 f7 0d 02 05 05 00 04
10 || H.
SHA-1: (0x)30 21 30 09 06 05 2b 0e 03 02 1a 05 00 04 14 || H.
SHA-256: (0x)30 31 30 0d 06 09 60 86 48 01 65 03 04 02 01 05 00
04 20 || H.
SHA-384: (0x)30 41 30 0d 06 09 60 86 48 01 65 03 04 02 02 05 00
04 30 || H.
SHA-512: (0x)30 51 30 0d 06 09 60 86 48 01 65 03 04 02 03 05 00
04 40 || H.
SHA-512/224: (0x)30 2d 30 0d 06 09 60 86 48 01 65 03 04 02 05
05 00 04 1c || H.
SHA-512/256: (0x)30 31 30 0d 06 09 60 86 48 01 65 03 04 02 06
05 00 04 20 || H.
2. In version 1.5 of this document, T was defined as the BER
encoding, rather than the DER encoding, of the DigestInfo value.
In particular, it is possible - at least in theory - that the
Moriarty, et al. Expires October 9, 2016 [Page 44]
Internet-Draft PKCS #1 v2.2 April 2016
verification operation defined in this document (as well as in
version 2.0) rejects a signature that is valid with respect to
the specification given in PKCS #1 v1.5. This occurs if other
rules than DER are applied to DigestInfo (e.g., an indefinite
length encoding of the underlying SEQUENCE type). While this is
unlikely to be a concern in practice, a cautious implementer may
choose to employ a verification operation based on a BER decoding
operation as specified in PKCS #1 v1.5. In this manner,
compatibility with any valid implementation based on PKCS #1 v1.5
is obtained. Such a verification operation should indicate
whether the underlying BER encoding is a DER encoding and hence
whether the signature is valid with respect to the specification
given in this document.

Appendix A. ASN.1 syntax
A.1. RSA key representation
This section defines ASN.1 object identifiers for RSA public and
private keys, and defines the types RSAPublicKey and RSAPrivateKey.
The intended application of these definitions includes X.509
certificates, PKCS #8 [RFC5208], and PKCS #12 [RFC7292].
The object identifier rsaEncryption identifies RSA public and private
keys as defined in Appendices A.1.1 and A.1.2. The parameters field
associated with this OID in a value of type AlgorithmIdentifier SHALL
have a value of type NULL.
rsaEncryption OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { pkcs-1 1 }
The definitions in this section have been extended to support multi-
prime RSA, but are backward compatible with previous versions.
A.1.1. RSA public key syntax
An RSA public key should be represented with the ASN.1 type
RSAPublicKey:
RSAPublicKey ::= SEQUENCE {
modulus INTEGER, -- n
publicExponent INTEGER -- e
}
The fields of type RSAPublicKey have the following meanings:
o modulus is the RSA modulus n.
o publicExponent is the RSA public exponent e.
Moriarty, et al. Expires October 9, 2016 [Page 50]
Internet-Draft PKCS #1 v2.2 April 2016
A.1.2. RSA private key syntax
An RSA private key should be represented with the ASN.1 type
RSAPrivateKey:
RSAPrivateKey ::= SEQUENCE {
version Version,
modulus INTEGER, -- n
publicExponent INTEGER, -- e
privateExponent INTEGER, -- d
prime1 INTEGER, -- p
prime2 INTEGER, -- q
exponent1 INTEGER, -- d mod (p-1)
exponent2 INTEGER, -- d mod (q-1)
coefficient INTEGER, -- (inverse of q) mod p
otherPrimeInfos OtherPrimeInfos OPTIONAL
}
The fields of type RSAPrivateKey have the following meanings:
o version is the version number, for compatibility with future
revisions of this document. It SHALL be 0 for this version of the
document, unless multi-prime is used, in which case it SHALL be 1.
Version ::= INTEGER { two-prime(0), multi(1) }
(CONSTRAINED BY
{-- version must be multi if otherPrimeInfos present --})
o modulus is the RSA modulus n.
o publicExponent is the RSA public exponent e.
o privateExponent is the RSA private exponent d.
o prime1 is the prime factor p of n.
o prime2 is the prime factor q of n.
o exponent1 is d mod (p - 1).
o exponent2 is d mod (q - 1).
o coefficient is the CRT coefficient q^(-1) mod p.
o otherPrimeInfos contains the information for the additional primes
r_3, ..., r_u, in order. It SHALL be omitted if version is 0 and
SHALL contain at least one instance of OtherPrimeInfo if version
is 1.
Moriarty, et al. Expires October 9, 2016 [Page 51]
Internet-Draft PKCS #1 v2.2 April 2016
OtherPrimeInfos ::= SEQUENCE SIZE(1..MAX) OF OtherPrimeInfo
OtherPrimeInfo ::= SEQUENCE {
prime INTEGER, -- ri
exponent INTEGER, -- di
coefficient INTEGER -- ti
}
The fields of type OtherPrimeInfo have the following meanings:
o prime is a prime factor r_i of n, where i >= 3.
o exponent is d_i = d mod (r_i - 1).
o coefficient is the CRT coefficient t_i = (r_1 * r_2 * ... *
r_(i-1))^(-1) mod r_i.
Note. It is important to protect the RSA private key against both
disclosure and modification. Techniques for such protection are
outside the scope of this document. Methods for storing and
distributing private keys and other cryptographic data are described
in PKCS #12 and #15.
A.2. Scheme identification
This section defines object identifiers for the encryption and
signature schemes. The schemes compatible with PKCS #1 v1.5 have the
same definitions as in PKCS #1 v1.5. The intended application of
these definitions includes X.509 certificates and PKCS #7.
Here are type identifier definitions for the PKCS #1 OIDs:
PKCS1Algorithms ALGORITHM-IDENTIFIER ::= {
{ OID rsaEncryption PARAMETERS NULL } |
{ OID md2WithRSAEncryption PARAMETERS NULL } |
{ OID md5WithRSAEncryption PARAMETERS NULL } |
{ OID sha1WithRSAEncryption PARAMETERS NULL } |
{ OID sha224WithRSAEncryption PARAMETERS NULL } |
{ OID sha256WithRSAEncryption PARAMETERS NULL } |
{ OID sha384WithRSAEncryption PARAMETERS NULL } |
{ OID sha512WithRSAEncryption PARAMETERS NULL } |
{ OID sha512-224WithRSAEncryption PARAMETERS NULL } |
{ OID sha512-256WithRSAEncryption PARAMETERS NULL } |
{ OID id-RSAES-OAEP PARAMETERS RSAES-OAEP-params } |
PKCS1PSourceAlgorithms |
{ OID id-RSASSA-PSS PARAMETERS RSASSA-PSS-params },

}
Moriarty, et al. Expires October 9, 2016 [Page 52]
Internet-Draft PKCS #1 v2.2 April 2016
A.2.1. RSAES-OAEP
The object identifier id-RSAES-OAEP identifies the RSAES-OAEP
encryption scheme.
id-RSAES-OAEP OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { pkcs-1 7 }
The parameters field associated with this OID in a value of type
AlgorithmIdentifier SHALL have a value of type RSAES-OAEP-params:
RSAES-OAEP-params ::= SEQUENCE {
hashAlgorithm [0] HashAlgorithm DEFAULT sha1,
maskGenAlgorithm [1] MaskGenAlgorithm DEFAULT mgf1SHA1,
pSourceAlgorithm [2] PSourceAlgorithm DEFAULT pSpecifiedEmpty
}
The fields of type RSAES-OAEP-params have the following meanings:
o hashAlgorithm identifies the hash function. It SHALL be an
algorithm ID with an OID in the set OAEP-PSSDigestAlgorithms. For
a discussion of supported hash functions, see Appendix B.1.
HashAlgorithm ::= AlgorithmIdentifier {
{OAEP-PSSDigestAlgorithms}
}
OAEP-PSSDigestAlgorithms ALGORITHM-IDENTIFIER ::= {
{ OID id-sha1 PARAMETERS NULL }|
{ OID id-sha224 PARAMETERS NULL }|
{ OID id-sha256 PARAMETERS NULL }|
{ OID id-sha384 PARAMETERS NULL }|
{ OID id-sha512 PARAMETERS NULL }|
{ OID id-sha512-224 PARAMETERS NULL }|
{ OID id-sha512-256 PARAMETERS NULL },
... -- Allows for future expansion --
}
The default hash function is SHA-1:
sha1 HashAlgorithm ::= {
algorithm id-sha1,
parameters SHA1Parameters : NULL
}
SHA1Parameters ::= NULL
o maskGenAlgorithm identifies the mask generation function. It
SHALL be an algorithm ID with an OID in the set
Moriarty, et al. Expires October 9, 2016 [Page 53]
Internet-Draft PKCS #1 v2.2 April 2016
PKCS1MGFAlgorithms, which for this version SHALL consist of id-
mgf1, identifying the MGF1 mask generation function (see
Appendix B.2.1). The parameters field associated with id-mgf1
SHALL be an algorithm ID with an OID in the set OAEP-
PSSDigestAlgorithms, identifying the hash function on which MGF1
is based.
MaskGenAlgorithm ::= AlgorithmIdentifier { {PKCS1MGFAlgorithms} }
PKCS1MGFAlgorithms ALGORITHM-IDENTIFIER ::= {
{ OID id-mgf1 PARAMETERS HashAlgorithm },
... -- Allows for future expansion --
}
o The default mask generation function is MGF1 with SHA-1:
mgf1SHA1 MaskGenAlgorithm ::= {
algorithm id-mgf1,
parameters HashAlgorithm : sha1
}
o pSourceAlgorithm identifies the source (and possibly the value) of
the label L. It SHALL be an algorithm ID with an OID in the set
PKCS1PSourceAlgorithms, which for this version SHALL consist of
id-pSpecified, indicating that the label is specified explicitly.
The parameters field associated with id-pSpecified SHALL have a
value of type OCTET STRING, containing the label. In previous
versions of this specification, the term "encoding parameters" was
used rather than "label", hence the name of the type below.
PSourceAlgorithm ::= AlgorithmIdentifier {
{PKCS1PSourceAlgorithms}
}
PKCS1PSourceAlgorithms ALGORITHM-IDENTIFIER ::= {
{ OID id-pSpecified PARAMETERS EncodingParameters },
... -- Allows for future expansion --
}
id-pSpecified OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { pkcs-1 9 }
EncodingParameters ::= OCTET STRING(SIZE(0..MAX))
o The default label is an empty string (so that lHash will contain
the hash of the empty string):
Moriarty, et al. Expires October 9, 2016 [Page 54]
Internet-Draft PKCS #1 v2.2 April 2016
pSpecifiedEmpty PSourceAlgorithm ::= {
algorithm id-pSpecified,
parameters EncodingParameters : emptyString
}
emptyString EncodingParameters ::= ''H
If all of the default values of the fields in RSAES-OAEP-params are
used, then the algorithm identifier will have the following value:
rSAES-OAEP-Default-Identifier RSAES-AlgorithmIdentifier ::= {
algorithm id-RSAES-OAEP,
parameters RSAES-OAEP-params : {
hashAlgorithm sha1,
maskGenAlgorithm mgf1SHA1,
pSourceAlgorithm pSpecifiedEmpty
}
}
RSAES-AlgorithmIdentifier ::= AlgorithmIdentifier {
{PKCS1Algorithms}
}
A.2.2. RSAES-PKCS-v1_5
The object identifier rsaEncryption (see Appendix A.1) identifies the
RSAES-PKCS1-v1_5 encryption scheme. The parameters field associated
with this OID in a value of type AlgorithmIdentifier SHALL have a
value of type NULL. This is the same as in PKCS #1 v1.5.
rsaEncryption OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { pkcs-1 1 }
A.2.3. RSASSA-PSS
The object identifier id-RSASSA-PSS identifies the RSASSA-PSS
encryption scheme.
id-RSASSA-PSS OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { pkcs-1 10 }
The parameters field associated with this OID in a value of type
AlgorithmIdentifier SHALL have a value of type RSASSA-PSS-params:
RSASSA-PSS-params ::= SEQUENCE {
hashAlgorithm [0] HashAlgorithm DEFAULT sha1,
maskGenAlgorithm [1] MaskGenAlgorithm DEFAULT mgf1SHA1,
saltLength [2] INTEGER DEFAULT 20,
trailerField [3] TrailerField DEFAULT trailerFieldBC
}
Moriarty, et al. Expires October 9, 2016 [Page 55]
Internet-Draft PKCS #1 v2.2 April 2016
The fields of type RSASSA-PSS-params have the following meanings:
o hashAlgorithm identifies the hash function. It SHALL be an
algorithm ID with an OID in the set OAEP-PSSDigestAlgorithms (see
Appendix A.2.1). The default hash function is SHA-1.
o maskGenAlgorithm identifies the mask generation function. It
SHALL be an algorithm ID with an OID in the set PKCS1MGFAlgorithms
(see Appendix A.2.1). The default mask generation function is
MGF1 with SHA-1. For MGF1 (and more generally, for other mask
generation functions based on a hash function), it is RECOMMENDED
that the underlying hash function be the same as the one
identified by hashAlgorithm; see Note 2 in Section 9.1 for further
comments.
o saltLength is the octet length of the salt. It SHALL be an
integer. For a given hashAlgorithm, the default value of
saltLength is the octet length of the hash value. Unlike the
other fields of type RSASSA-PSS-params, saltLength does not need
to be fixed for a given RSA key pair.
o trailerField is the trailer field number, for compatibility with
the draft IEEE 1363a-2004 [IEEE1363A]. It SHALLL be 1 for this
version of the document, which represents the trailer field with
hexadecimal value 0xbc. Other trailer fields (including the
trailer field HashID || 0xcc in IEEE 1363a-2004) are not supported
in this document.
TrailerField ::= INTEGER { trailerFieldBC(1) }
If the default values of the hashAlgorithm, maskGenAlgorithm, and
trailerField fields of RSASSA-PSS-params are used, then the algorithm
identifier will have the following value:
rSASSA-PSS-Default-Identifier RSASSA-AlgorithmIdentifier ::= {
algorithm id-RSASSA-PSS,
parameters RSASSA-PSS-params : {
hashAlgorithm sha1,
maskGenAlgorithm mgf1SHA1,
saltLength 20,
trailerField trailerFieldBC
}
}
RSASSA-AlgorithmIdentifier ::= AlgorithmIdentifier {
{PKCS1Algorithms}
}

Internet-Draft PKCS #1 v2.2 April 2016
Note. In some applications, the hash function underlying a signature
scheme is identified separately from the rest of the operations in
the signature scheme. For instance, in PKCS #7 [RFC2315], a hash
function identifier is placed before the message and a "digest
encryption" algorithm identifier (indicating the rest of the
operations) is carried with the signature. In order for PKCS #7 to
support the RSASSA-PSS signature scheme, an object identifier would
need to be defined for the operations in RSASSA-PSS after the hash
function (analogous to the RSAEncryption OID for the RSASSA-
PKCS1-v1_5 scheme). S/MIME CMS [RFC5652] takes a different approach.
Although a hash function identifier is placed before the message, an
algorithm identifier for the full signature scheme may be carried
with a CMS signature (this is done for DSA signatures). Following
this convention, the id-RSASSA-PSS OID can be used to identify
RSASSA-PSS signatures in CMS. Since CMS is considered the successor
to PKCS #7 and new developments such as the addition of support for
RSASSA-PSS will be pursued with respect to CMS rather than PKCS #7,
an OID for the "rest of" RSASSA-PSS is not defined in this version of
PKCS #1.
A.2.4. RSASSA-PKCS-v1_5
The object identifier for RSASSA-PKCS1-v1_5 SHALL be one of the

algorithm: MD2, MD5, SHA-1, SHA-224, SHA-256, SHA-384, SHA-512, SHA-

then the OID is just as in PKCS #1 v1.5. For each OID, the
parameters field associated with this OID in a value of type
AlgorithmIdentifier SHALL have a value of type NULL. The OID should

Appendix B. Supporting techniques
This section gives several examples of underlying functions
supporting the encryption schemes in Section 7 and the encoding
methods in Section 9. A range of techniques is given here to allow
compatibility with existing applications as well as migration to new
techniques. While these supporting techniques are appropriate for
applications to implement, none of them is required to be
implemented. It is expected that profiles for PKCS #1 v2.2 will be
developed that specify particular supporting techniques.
This section also gives object identifiers for the supporting
techniques.
B.1. Hash functions
Hash functions are used in the operations contained in Sections 7 and
9. Hash functions are deterministic, meaning that the output is
completely determined by the input. Hash functions take octet
strings of variable length, and generate fixed length octet strings.
The hash functions used in the operations contained in Sections 7 and
9 should generally be collision-resistant. This means that it is
infeasible to find two distinct inputs to the hash function that
Moriarty, et al. Expires October 9, 2016 [Page 58]
Internet-Draft PKCS #1 v2.2 April 2016
produce the same output. A collision-resistant hash function also
has the desirable property of being one-way; this means that given an
output, it is infeasible to find an input whose hash is the specified
output. In addition to the requirements, the hash function should
yield a mask generation function (Appendix B.2) with pseudorandom
output.
Nine hash functions are given as examples for the encoding methods in
this document: MD2 [RFC1319], MD5 [RFC1321], SHA-1, SHA-224, SHA-256,
SHA-384, SHA-512, SHA-512/224, and SHA-512/256 [SHS]. For the RSAES-
OAEP encryption scheme and EMSA-PSS encoding method, only SHA-1, SHA-
224, SHA-256, SHA-384, SHA-512, SHA-512/224, and SHA-512/256 are
RECOMMENDED. For the EMSA-PKCS1-v1_5 encoding method, SHA-224, SHA-
256, SHA-384, SHA-512, SHA-512/224, and SHA-512/256 are RECOMMENDED
for new applications. MD2, MD5 and SHA-1 are recommended only for
compatibility with existing applications based on PKCS #1 v1.5.
The object identifiers id-md2, id-md5, id-sha1, id-sha224, id-sha256,
id-sha384, id-sha512, id-sha512/224, and id-sha512/256, identify the
respective hash functions:

The parameters field associated with these OIDs in a value of type
AlgorithmIdentifier SHALL have a value of type NULL.
Moriarty, et al. Expires October 9, 2016 [Page 60]
Internet-Draft PKCS #1 v2.2 April 2016
The parameters field associated with id-md2 and id-md5 in a value of
type AlgorithmIdentifier shall have a value of type NULL.
The parameters field associated with id-sha1, id-sha224, id-sha256,
id-sha384, id-sha512, id-sha512/224, and id-sha512/256 should
generally be omitted, but if present, shall have a value of type
NULL.
This is to align with the definitions originally promulgated by NIST.
For the SHA algorithms, implementations MUST accept
AlgorithmIdentifier values both without parameters and with NULL
parameters.
Exception: When formatting the DigestInfoValue in EMSA-PKCS1-v1_5
(see 9.2), the parameters field associated with id-sha1, id-sha224,
id-sha256, id-sha384, id-sha512, id-sha512/224, and id-sha512/256
shall have a value of type NULL. This is to maintain compatibility
with existing implementations and with the numeric information values
already published for EMSA-PKCS1-v1_5 which are also reflected in
IEEE 1363a-2004 [IEEE1363A].
Note. Version 1.5 of PKCS #1 also allowed for the use of MD4 in
signature schemes. The cryptanalysis of MD4 has progressed
significantly in the intervening years. For example, Dobbertin [MD4]
demonstrated how to find collisions for MD4 and that the first two
rounds of MD4 are not one-way [MD4FIRST]. Because of these results
and others (e.g. [MD4LAST]), MD4 is NOT RECOMMENDED.
Further advances have been made in the cryptanalysis of MD2 and MD5,
and especially after Stevens et al. findings [PREFIX] on chosen-
prefix collisions on MD5. MD2 and MD5 should be considered
cryptographically broken and removed from existing applications.
This version of the standard supports MD2 and MD5 just for backwards
compatibility reasons.
There have also been advances in the cryptanalysis of SHA-1.
Particularly the results of Wang et al. [SHA1CRYPT] (which have been
independently verified by M. Cochran in his analysis [COCHRAN]) on
using a differential path to find collisions in SHA-1, which conclude
that the security strength of the SHA-1 hashing algorithm is
significantly reduced. However, this reduction is not significant
enough to warrant the removal of SHA-1 from existing applications,
but its usage is only recommended for backwards compatibility
reasons.
To address these concerns, only SHA-224, SHA-256, SHA-384, SHA-512,
SHA-512/224, and SHA-512/256 are RECOMMENDED for new applications.
As of today, the best (known) collision attacks against these hash
Moriarty, et al. Expires October 9, 2016 [Page 61]
Internet-Draft PKCS #1 v2.2 April 2016
functions are generic attacks with complexity 2L/2, where L is the
bit length of the hash output. For the signature schemes in this
document, a collision attack is easily translated into a signature
forgery. Therefore, the value L / 2 should be at least equal to the
desired security level in bits of the signature scheme (a security
level of B bits means that the best attack has complexity 2B). The
same rule of thumb can be applied to RSAES-OAEP; it is RECOMMENDED
that the bit length of the seed (which is equal to the bit length of
the hash output) be twice the desired security level in bits.
B.2. Mask generation functions
A mask generation function takes an octet string of variable length
and a desired output length as input, and outputs an octet string of
the desired length. There may be restrictions on the length of the
input and output octet strings, but such bounds are generally very
large. Mask generation functions are deterministic; the octet string
output is completely determined by the input octet string. The
output of a mask generation function should be pseudorandom: Given
one part of the output but not the input, it should be infeasible to
predict another part of the output. The provable security of RSAES-
OAEP and RSASSA-PSS relies on the random nature of the output of the
mask generation function, which in turn relies on the random nature
of the underlying hash.
One mask generation function is given here: MGF1, which is based on a
hash function. MGF1 coincides with the mask generation functions
defined in IEEE 1363-2000 [IEEE1363] and ANSI X9.44-2007 [ANSIX944].
Future versions of this document may define other mask generation
functions.
B.2.1. MGF1
MGF1 is a Mask Generation Function based on a hash function.
MGF1 (mgfSeed, maskLen)
Options:
Hash hash function (hLen denotes the length in octets of the hash
function output)
Input:
mgfSeed seed from which mask is generated, an octet string
maskLen intended length in octets of the mask, at most 2^32 hLen
Output:
Moriarty, et al. Expires October 9, 2016 [Page 62]
Internet-Draft PKCS #1 v2.2 April 2016
mask mask, an octet string of length maskLen
Error:
"mask too long"
Steps:
1. If maskLen > 2^32 hLen, output "mask too long" and stop.
2. Let T be the empty octet string.
3. For counter from 0 to \ceil (maskLen / hLen) - 1, do the
following:
A. Convert counter to an octet string C of length 4 octets (see
Section 4.1):
C = I2OSP (counter, 4) .
B. Concatenate the hash of the seed mgfSeed and C to the octet
string T:
T = T || Hash(mgfSeed || C) .
4. Output the leading maskLen octets of T as the octet string mask.
The object identifier id-mgf1 identifies the MGF1 mask generation
function:
id-mgf1 OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { pkcs-1 8 }
The parameters field associated with this OID in a value of type
AlgorithmIdentifier shall have a value of type hashAlgorithm,
identifying the hash function on which MGF1 is based.

Version 1.4 was part of the June 3, 1991 initial public release of

document SEC-SIG-91-18. Version 1.5
Version 1.5 incorporated several editorial changes, including updates
to the references and the addition of a revision history. The
following substantive changes were made:
o Section 10: "MD4 with RSA" signature and verification processes
were added.
o Section 11: md4WithRSAEncryption object identifier was added.
Version 1.5 was republished as IETF RFC 2313.
Version 2.0
Version 2.0 incorporated major editorial changes in terms of the
document structure and introduced the RSAES-OAEP encryption scheme.
This version continued to support the encryption and signature
processes in version 1.5, although the hash algorithm MD4 was no
longer allowed due to cryptanalytic advances in the intervening
years. Version 2.0 was republished as RFC 2437 [RFC2437].
Version 2.1
Version 2.1 introduces multi-prime RSA and the RSASSA-PSS signature
scheme with appendix along with several editorial improvements. This
version continues to support the schemes in version 2.0.

Internet-Draft PKCS #1 v2.2 April 2016
Version 2.2
Version 2.2 updates the list of allowed hashing algorithms to align
them with FIPS 180-4 [SHS], therefore adding SHA-224, SHA-512/224 and
SHA-512/256. The following substantive changes were made:
o Object identifiers for sha224WithRSAEncryption,
sha512-224WithRSAEncryption and sha512-256WithRSAEncryption were
added.
o This version continues to support the schemes in version 2.1.
Appendix F. About PKCS
The Public-Key Cryptography Standards are specifications produced by
RSA Laboratories in cooperation with secure systems developers
worldwide for the purpose of accelerating the deployment of public-
key cryptography. First published in 1991 as a result of meetings
with a small group of early adopters of public-key technology, the
PKCS documents have become widely referenced and implemented.
Contributions from the PKCS series have become part of many formal
and de facto standards, including ANSI X9 and IEEE P1363 documents,
PKIX, SET, S/MIME, SSL/TLS, and WAP/WTLS.
Further development of PKCS occurs through the IETF. Suggestions for
improvement are welcome.
