!!! Overview
[{$pagename}] is a [Federal Information Processing Standard] titled Specifications for the [Digital Signature Standard] ([DSS])
defines methods for digital signature generation that can be used for the protection
of binary data (commonly called a message), and for the verification and validation of those
digital signatures. Three techniques are approved.
* The [Digital Signature Algorithm] ([DSA]) is specified in [{$pagename}]. The specification includes criteria for the generation of domain parameters, for the generation of [Public Key] and [Private Key] pairs, and for the generation and verification of [Digital Signatures].
* The [RSA Digital Signature Algorithm] is specified in American National Standard (ANS) X9.31 and Public Key Cryptography Standard [(PKCS) #1|PKCS 1]. [{$pagename}]-4 approves the use of implementations of either or both of these standards and specifies additional requirements.
* The [Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm] ([ECDSA]) is specified in ANS X9.62. [{$pagename}]-4 approves the use of ECDSA and specifies additional requirements. Recommended elliptic curves for Federal Government use are provided herein
