ISO/IEC 14888 consists of the following parts, under the general title Information technology Security techniqu

13、es Digital signatures with appendix: Part 1: General Part 2: Integer factorization based mechanisms Part 3: Discrete logarithm based mechanisms BS ISO/IEC 14888-1:2008v Introduction Digital signature mechanisms are asymmetric cryptographic techniques which can be used to provide entity authenticatio

14、n, data origin authentication, data integrity and non-repudiation services. There are two types of digital signature mechanisms: When the verification process needs the message as part of the input, the mechanism is called a “signature mechanism with appendix”. A hash-function is used in the calcula

15、tion of the appendix. When the verification process reveals all or part of the message, the mechanism is called a “signature mechanism giving message recovery”. A hash-function is also used in the generation and verification of these signatures. Signature mechanisms with appendix are specified in IS

16、O/IEC 14888. Signature mechanisms giving message recovery are specified in ISO/IEC 9796. Hash-functions are specified in ISO/IEC 10118.

Every asymmetri

35、c digital signature mechanism involves three basic operations. A process for generating pairs of keys, where each pair consists of a signature key and the corresponding verification key. A process using the signature key called the signature process. When, for a given message and signature key, the

36、probability of obtaining the same signature twice is negligible, the operation is probabilistic. procedure principal procedure optional principal procedure data flow optional data flow two data flows of which at least one is mandatory optional data data another optional data flow BS ISO/IEC 14888-1:

37、20085 When, for a given message and signature key, all the signatures are identical, the operation is deterministic. A process using the verification key called the verification process. The verification of a digital signature requires the signers verification key. It is thus essential for a verifie

38、r to be able to associate the correct verification key with the signer, or more precisely, with (parts of) the signers identification data. If this association is somehow inherent in the verification key itself, the scheme is said to be “identity-based”. If not, the association between the correct v

39、erification key with the signers identification data shall be provided by a certificate for the verification key. The scheme is then said to be “certificate-based”. 6 General model A digital signature mechanism with appendix is defined by the specification of the following processes: key generation

40、process; signature process; verification process. In the signature process, the signer computes a digital signature for a given message. The signature, together with an optional text field, forms the appendix, which is appended to the message to form the signed message. Figure 1 Signed message Depen

41、ding on the application, there are different ways of forming the appendix and associating it with the message. The general requirement is that the verifier is able to relate the correct signature to the message. For successful verification it is also essential that, prior to the verification process

42、, the verifier is able to associate the correct verification key with the signature. The optional text field can be used for transmitting the signers identification data or an authenticated copy of the signers verification key to the verifier. In some cases the signers identification data may need t

43、o be part of the message M, so that it is protected by the signature. A digital signature mechanism shall satisfy the following requirements: Given only the verification key and not the signature key it is computationally infeasible to produce any message and a valid signature for this message. The

44、signatures produced by a signer can neither be used for producing any new message and a valid signature for this message nor for recovering the signature key. It is computationally infeasible, even for the signer, to find two different messages with the same signature. NOTE Computational feasibility

45、 depends on the specific security requirements and environment. message M text t signature BS ISO/IEC 14888-1:20086 7 Options for binding signature mechanism and hash-function Use of the signature schemes specified in this standard requires the selection of a collision-resistant hash- function. Ther

46、e shall be a binding between the signature mechanism and the hash-function in use. Without such a binding, an adversary might claim the use of a weak hash-function (and not the actual one) and thereby forge the signature. There are various ways to accomplish this binding. The following options are l

47、isted in order of increasing risk. a) Require a particular hash-function when using a particular signature mechanism. The verification process shall exclusively use that particular hash-function; b) Allow a set of hash-functions and explicitly indicate the hash-function in use in the certificate dom

48、ain parameters. Inside the certificate domain, the verification process shall exclusively use the hash-function indicated in the certificate. Outside the certificate domain, there is a risk arising from certification authorities (CAs) that may not adhere to the users policy. If, for example, an exte

49、rnal CA creates a certificate permitting other hash-functions, then signature forgery problems may arise. In such a case a misled verifier may be in dispute with the CA that produced the other certificate; c) Allow a set of hash-functions and indicate the hash-function in use by some other method, e.g., an indication in the message or a bilateral agreement. The verificati
