Unfortunately for most of the functions available in nettle this
counter-measure cannot be implemented without changing the API. Said
that, there is rsa_pkcs1_sign_tr() which is supposed to be the
side-channel resistant version of rsa_pkcs1_sign() and can have this
additional check with no changes. I attach a small patch which
verifies the output of this signing function.

Niels, what about the rest of the functions? They can protect from
neither timing nor fault attacks. I also attach the patch which marks
them as such in the manual.

regards,
Nikos

Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Enhanced rsa_pkcs1_sign_tr() to protect against
 HW/software errors

That verifies the output of the timing-resistant version of the
signing function, to make it also fault-resistant.
