Hi, Jack Lloyd wrote:
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?
Regards Markus
