Hi,

Monotone uses EMSA3 (aka PKCS#1 v1.5), which is a deterministic
encoding. So for a fixed input, the same key will always produce the
same signature. (The generally accepted solution for RSA signature
padding is EMSA4 aka PSS, which is a randomized method).

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but what prevents us from to switching to EMSA4?

Markus
