gpg can produce a signature file where length of signature is less than the
modulus size because the amount of space an MPI takes up is kept as low as
possible by discarding leading zeros. This regularly happens for several
modules during the build.
Fix it by relaxing check in RSA verification code.

Implement RSA public key cryptography [PKCS#1 / RFC3447]. At this time, only
the signature verification algorithm is supported. This uses the asymmetric
public key subtype to hold its key data.

Provide signature verification using an asymmetric-type key to indicate the
public key to be used.
The API is a single function that can be found in crypto/public_key.h:
int verify_signature(const struct key *key,
const struct public_key_signature *sig)
The first argument is the appropriate key to be used and the second argument
is the parsed signature data:
struct public_key_signature {
u8 *digest;
u16 digest_size;
enum pkey_hash_algo pkey_hash_algo : 8;
union {
MPI mpi[2];
struct {
MPI s; /* m^d mod n */
} rsa;
struct {
MPI r;
MPI s;
} dsa;
};
};
This should be filled in prior to calling the function. The hash algorithm
should already have been called and the hash finalised and the output should
be in a buffer pointed to by the 'digest' member.
Any extra data to be added to the hash by the hash format (eg. PGP) should
have been added by the caller prior to finalising the hash.
It is assumed that the signature is made up of a number of MPI values. If an
algorithm becomes available for which this is not the case, the above structure
will have to change.
It is also assumed that it will have been checked that the signature algorithm
matches the key algorithm.

Add a subtype for supporting asymmetric public-key encryption algorithms such
as DSA (FIPS-186) and RSA (PKCS#1 / RFC1337).

The instantiation data passed to the asymmetric key type are expected to be
formatted in some way, and there are several possible standard ways to format
the data.
The two obvious standards are OpenPGP keys and X.509 certificates. The latter
is especially useful when dealing with UEFI, and the former might be useful
when dealing with, say, eCryptfs.
Further, it might be desirable to provide formatted blobs that indicate
hardware is to be accessed to retrieve the keys or that the keys live
unretrievably in a hardware store, but that the keys can be used by means of
the hardware.
From userspace, the keys can be loaded using the keyctl command, for example,
an X.509 binary certificate:
keyctl padd asymmetric foo @s <dhowells.pem
or a PGP key:
keyctl padd asymmetric bar @s <dhowells.pub
or a pointer into the contents of the TPM:
keyctl add asymmetric zebra "TPM:04982390582905f8" @s
Inside the kernel, pluggable parsers register themselves and then get to
examine the payload data to see if they can handle it. If they can, they get
to:
(1) Propose a name for the key, to be used it the name is "" or NULL.
(2) Specify the key subtype.
(3) Provide the data for the subtype.
The key type asks the parser to do its stuff before a key is allocated and thus
before the name is set. If successful, the parser stores the suggested data
into the key_preparsed_payload struct, which will be either used (if the key is
successfully created and instantiated or updated) or discarded.

Create a key type that can be used to represent an asymmetric key type for use
in appropriate cryptographic operations, such as encryption, decryption,
signature generation and signature verification.
The key type is "asymmetric" and can provide access to a variety of
cryptographic algorithms.
Possibly, this would be better as "public_key" - but that has the disadvantage
that "public key" is an overloaded term.
