=head1 NAME

RSA-PSS - EVP_PKEY RSA-PSS algorithm support

=head1 DESCRIPTION

The B<RSA-PSS> EVP_PKEY implementation is a restricted version of the RSA

algorithm which only supports signing, verification and key generation

using PSS padding modes with optional parameter restrictions.

It has associated private key and public key formats.

This algorithm shares several control operations with the B<RSA> algorithm

but with some restrictions described below.

=head2 Signing and Verification

Signing and verification is similar to the B<RSA> algorithm except the

padding mode is always PSS. If the key in use has parameter restrictions then

the corresponding signature parameters are set to the restrictions:

for example, if the key can only be used with digest SHA256, MGF1 SHA256

and minimum salt length 32 then the digest, MGF1 digest and salt length

will be set to SHA256, SHA256 and 32 respectively.

=head2 Key Generation

By default no parameter restrictions are placed on the generated key.

=head1 NOTES

The public key format is documented in RFC4055.

The PKCS#8 private key format used for RSA-PSS keys is similar to the RSA

format except it uses the B<id-RSASSA-PSS> OID and the parameters field, if

present, restricts the key parameters in the same way as the public key.
