Abstract

This document describes a method for producing a signature from a Diffie-Hellman key pair. This behavior is needed for such operations as creating a signature of a PKCS #10 certification request. This document describes two different flavors of the signature algorithm, one using a D-H key from a CA and the other using a temporary key created by the signer.
