Webrev updated at
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~weijun/8242068/webrev.01/
Two major changes:
1. Always use the signature algorithm directly in
SignerInfo::signatureAlgorithm:
In PKCS7 SignerInfo
SignerInfo ::= SEQUENCE {
version CMSVersion,
sid SignerIdentifier,
digestAlgorithm DigestAlgorithmIdentifier,
signedAttrs [0] IMPLICIT SignedAttributes OPTIONAL,
signatureAlgorithm SignatureAlgorithmIdentifier,
signature SignatureValue,
unsignedAttrs [1] IMPLICIT UnsignedAttributes OPTIONAL }
We have always been putting "SHA-1" etc into DigestAlgorithmIdentifier, and
"RSA", "DSA", "EC" into signatureAlgorithm.
The latest https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5652#section-10.1.2 claims it to be
The SignatureAlgorithmIdentifier type identifies a signature
algorithm, and it can also identify a message digest algorithm.
Examples include RSA, DSA, DSA with SHA-1, ECDSA, and ECDSA with
SHA-256.
It's complicated to always divide a signature algorithm into a digest algorithm
and an encryption algorithm (and with the new RSASSA-PSS and EdDSA it's not
easy to define it), therefore I decide to use the signature algorithm directly
from now on. Fortunately Java has been able to parse this for a very long time
so there is no compatibility issue. I noticed BouncyCastle has been doing the
same, and OpenSSL too except for RSA.
2. Support both SHAKE256 and SHAKE256-LEN while parsing a Ed448 SignerInfo.
They are both described in https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc8419.html although
it's a little complicated. To be standard compliant
(https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc8419.html#section-3.2 and we don't use
Signed Attributes), by default Java will use SHAKE256 as the digestAlgorithm.
However I noticed BouncyCastle does not recognize it, so if you set the system
property "jdk.security.pkcs7.ed448.digalg.haslen" to "true", it will use
SHAKE256-LEN (len == 512). I haven't described this system property in the CSR
yet.
