static unsigned char *dss_sign(void *key, char *data, int datalen, int *siglen) { /* * The basic DSS signing algorithm is: * * - invent a random k between 1 and q-1 (exclusive). * - Compute r = (g^k mod p) mod q. * - Compute s = k^-1 * (hash + x*r) mod q. * * This has the dangerous properties that: * * - if an attacker in possession of the public key _and_ the * signature (for example, the host you just authenticated * to) can guess your k, he can reverse the computation of s * and work out x = r^-1 * (s*k - hash) mod q. That is, he * can deduce the private half of your key, and masquerade * as you for as long as the key is still valid. * * - since r is a function purely of k and the public key, if * the attacker only has a _range of possibilities_ for k * it's easy for him to work through them all and check each * one against r; he'll never be unsure of whether he's got * the right one. * * - if you ever sign two different hashes with the same k, it * will be immediately obvious because the two signatures * will have the same r, and moreover an attacker in * possession of both signatures (and the public key of * course) can compute k = (hash1-hash2) * (s1-s2)^-1 mod q, * and from there deduce x as before. * * - the Bleichenbacher attack on DSA makes use of methods of * generating k which are significantly non-uniformly * distributed; in particular, generating a 160-bit random * number and reducing it mod q is right out. * * For this reason we must be pretty careful about how we * generate our k. Since this code runs on Windows, with no * particularly good system entropy sources, we can't trust our * RNG itself to produce properly unpredictable data. Hence, we * use a totally different scheme instead. * * What we do is to take a SHA-512 (_big_) hash of the private * key x, and then feed this into another SHA-512 hash that * also includes the message hash being signed. That is: * * proto_k = SHA512 ( SHA512(x) || SHA160(message) ) * * This number is 512 bits long, so reducing it mod q won't be * noticeably non-uniform. So * * k = proto_k mod q * * This has the interesting property that it's _deterministic_: * signing the same hash twice with the same key yields the * same signature. * * Despite this determinism, it's still not predictable to an * attacker, because in order to repeat the SHA-512 * construction that created it, the attacker would have to * know the private key value x - and by assumption he doesn't, * because if he knew that he wouldn't be attacking k! * * (This trick doesn't, _per se_, protect against reuse of k. * Reuse of k is left to chance; all it does is prevent * _excessively high_ chances of reuse of k due to entropy * problems.) * * Thanks to Colin Plumb for the general idea of using x to * ensure k is hard to guess, and to the Cambridge University * Computer Security Group for helping to argue out all the * fine details. */ struct dss_key *dss = (struct dss_key *) key; SHA512_State ss; unsigned char digest[20], digest512[64]; Bignum proto_k, k, gkp, hash, kinv, hxr, r, s; unsigned char *bytes; int nbytes, i; SHA_Simple(data, datalen, digest); /* * Hash some identifying text plus x. */ SHA512_Init(&ss); SHA512_Bytes(&ss, "DSA deterministic k generator", 30); sha512_mpint(&ss, dss->x); SHA512_Final(&ss, digest512); /* * Now hash that digest plus the message hash. */ SHA512_Init(&ss); SHA512_Bytes(&ss, digest512, sizeof(digest512)); SHA512_Bytes(&ss, digest, sizeof(digest)); SHA512_Final(&ss, digest512); memset(&ss, 0, sizeof(ss)); /* * Now convert the result into a bignum, and reduce it mod q. */ proto_k = bignum_from_bytes(digest512, 64); k = bigmod(proto_k, dss->q); freebn(proto_k); memset(digest512, 0, sizeof(digest512)); /* * Now we have k, so just go ahead and compute the signature. */ gkp = modpow(dss->g, k, dss->p); /* g^k mod p */ r = bigmod(gkp, dss->q); /* r = (g^k mod p) mod q */ freebn(gkp); hash = bignum_from_bytes(digest, 20); kinv = modinv(k, dss->q); /* k^-1 mod q */ hxr = bigmuladd(dss->x, r, hash); /* hash + x*r */ s = modmul(kinv, hxr, dss->q); /* s = k^-1 * (hash + x*r) mod q */ freebn(hxr); freebn(kinv); freebn(hash); /* * Signature blob is * * string "ssh-dss" * string two 20-byte numbers r and s, end to end * * i.e. 4+7 + 4+40 bytes. */ nbytes = 4 + 7 + 4 + 40; bytes = snewn(nbytes, unsigned char); PUT_32BIT(bytes, 7); memcpy(bytes + 4, "ssh-dss", 7); PUT_32BIT(bytes + 4 + 7, 40); for (i = 0; i < 20; i++) { bytes[4 + 7 + 4 + i] = bignum_byte(r, 19 - i); bytes[4 + 7 + 4 + 20 + i] = bignum_byte(s, 19 - i); } freebn(r); freebn(s); *siglen = nbytes; return bytes; }
