Adam Langley e41b0e2bcb crypto/x509: support PSS signatures.
Although the term “RSA” is almost synonymous with PKCS#1 v1.5, that
standard is quite flawed, cryptographically speaking. Bellare and
Rogaway fixed PKCS#1 v1.5 with OAEP (for encryption) and PSS (for
signatures) but they only see a fraction of the use of v1.5.

This change adds support for creating and verifying X.509 certificates
that use PSS signatures. Sadly, every possible dimension of flexibility
seems to have been reflected in the integration of X.509 and PSS
resulting in a huge amount of excess complexity. This change only
supports one “sane” configuration for each of SHA-{256, 384, 512}.
Hopefully this is sufficient because it saves a lot of complexity in the
code.

Although X.509 certificates with PSS signatures are rare, I'm inclined
to look favourably on them because they are sufficiently superior.

Fixes #15958.

The Go Programming Language

Go is an open source programming language that makes it easy to build simple, reliable, and efficient software.

Our canonical Git repository is located at https://go.googlesource.com/go. There is a mirror of the repository at https://github.com/golang/go.

Go is the work of hundreds of contributors. We appreciate your help!

To contribute, please read the contribution guidelines: https://golang.org/doc/contribute.html

Binary Distribution Notes

If you have just untarred a binary Go distribution, you need to set the environment variable $GOROOT to the full path of the go directory (the one containing this file). You can omit the variable if you unpack it into /usr/local/go, or if you rebuild from sources by running all.bash (see doc/install-source.html). You should also add the Go binary directory $GOROOT/bin to your shell's path.

For example, if you extracted the tar file into $HOME/go, you might put the following in your .profile:

export GOROOT=$HOME/go
export PATH=$PATH:$GOROOT/bin

See https://golang.org/doc/install or doc/install.html for more details.
