[Botan-devel] SHA512/RSA

[Rickard Bondesson]

Are there any known issues with SHA512/RSA signing?

My code is looking similar to this:

*****
  EMSA *hashFunc = NULL_PTR;
  hashFunc = new EMSA3(new SHA_512);
  session->pkSigner = new PK_Signer(*signKey, &*hashFunc);
  session->pkSigner->update(pPart, ulPartLen);
  session->pkSigner->update(pPart2, ulPartLen2);
  SecureVector<byte> signResult = session->pkSigner->signature(*softHSM->rng);
*****

The signature produced by PK_Signer is the same as the one produced by OpenSSL when used together with one of these functions:

  hashFunc = new EMSA3(new MD5);
  hashFunc = new EMSA3(new RIPEMD_160);
  hashFunc = new EMSA3(new SHA_160);
  hashFunc = new EMSA3(new SHA_256);
  hashFunc = new EMSA3(new SHA_384);

But the signature produced by SHA512/RSA is not the same as the one from OpenSSL.

Where could the problem be?
