NIST – Federal Information Processing Standard (FIP) Publication 186-3 NIST announces the adoption of FIPS 186-3, The Digital Signature Standard (see the Federal Register Notice). FIPS 186-3 is a revision of FIPS 186-2. The FIPS specifies three techniques for the generation and verification of digital signatures: DSA, ECDSA and RSA. This revision increases the length of the keys allowed for DSA, provides additional requirements for the use of ECDSA and RSA, and includes requirements for obtaining assurances necessary for valid digital signatures.
