I want to sign a SHA-256 hash with DSA.
Using Java I can write:
Signature sig = Signature.getInstance("SHA256withDSA");
sig.initSign(priKey);
sig.update(new byte[]{1});
byte[] sign = sig.sign();
System.out.println(HexUtil.encodeHexStr(sign));
Using the Go language, I couldn't find any way to resolve it
The only instance of checking a DSAWithSHA256
signature in go is in github.com/avast/apkverifier
case x509.DSAWithSHA256:
hash := sha256.Sum256(signed)
pub := cert.PublicKey.(*dsa.PublicKey)
reqLen := pub.Q.BitLen() / 8
if reqLen > len(hash) {
return fmt.Errorf("Digest algorithm is too short for given DSA parameters.")
}
digest := hash[:reqLen]
dsaSig := new(dsaSignature)
if rest, err := asn1.Unmarshal(signature, dsaSig); err != nil {
return err
} else if len(rest) != 0 {
return errors.New("x509: trailing data after DSA signature")
}
if dsaSig.R.Sign() <= 0 || dsaSig.S.Sign() <= 0 {
return errors.New("x509: DSA signature contained zero or negative values")
}
if !dsa.Verify(pub, digest, dsaSig.R, dsaSig.S) {
return errors.New("x509: DSA verification failure")
}
But actually using the signature algorithm is indeed unsupported, for reason illustrated in github.com/grantae/certinfo
Issues:
Unfortunately, OpenSSL uses non-deterministic signing for DSA and ECDSA certificate requests, so running make-certs.sh will not reproduce the same CSRs despite having static keys.
These files have to be kept in-sync manually.The x509 package does not currently set
CertificateRequest.SignatureAlgorithm
for DSA CSRs.
Therefore the 'leaf2.csr.text
' contains the line 'Signature Algorithm: 0
' instead of 'Signature Algorithm: DSAWithSHA256
' to allow the test to pass and indicate that the problem is with x509 and not this package.
Hence its unsupported status in Go crypto/x509
package.
