Dear all,

I would like to add support for RSASSA-PSS signatures. They're defined in the
PKCS1 standard, the ASN.1 module is in RFC 4055 / RFC 5912.

Please find attached my first attempt to add PSS support and recognize the
default parameters. I set the request_for_checkin flag although this might be a
bit premature.

Could you have a look and give me some feedback?

Should all of this go into asn1/pkcs1? I guess so as other definitions from
RFC5912 are in the same file.

Basically, the key part is

    RSASSA-PSS-params  ::=  SEQUENCE  {
       hashAlgorithm     [0] HashAlgorithm DEFAULT sha1Identifier,
       maskGenAlgorithm  [1] MaskGenAlgorithm DEFAULT mgf1SHA1,
       saltLength        [2] INTEGER DEFAULT 20,
       trailerField      [3] INTEGER DEFAULT 1
    }

It looks like the default values are ignored. There's no errors from asn2wrs
but the defaults never show up anywhere, e.g. when a field is absent. It this
the expected behaviour or is something going wrong?

I can't get the following definition to compile

    sha1Identifier AlgorithmIdentifier ::= {
       algorithmId id-sha1,
       parameters NULL
    }

asn2wrs complains about the comma after id-sha1 (removing it doesn't help). I
commented this out as it's used for defining a default value which in turn
seems to be ignored.

I'll attach two sample X.509 certificates that use RSASSA-PSS signatures. One
of them has all parameters set explicitly, the second uses an empty structure
for the parameters.

Thanks in advance for your comments. 

Best regards,

   Martin
