[RFC PATCH 2/4] akcipher: Introduce verify2 for public key algorithms

From: Vitaly Chikunov
Date: Sun Jan 06 2019 - 08:36:56 EST


Current akcipher .verify() just decrypts signature to uncover message
hash, which is then verified in upper level public_key_verify_signature
by memcmp with the expected signature value, which is never passed into
verify().

This approach is incompatible with ECDSA algorithms, because, to verify
a signature ECDSA algorithm also needs a hash value as input; also, hash
is used in ECDSA (together with a signature divided into halves `r||s`),
not to produce hash, but to produce a number, which is then compared to
`r` (first part of the signature) to determine if the signature is
correct. Thus, for ECDSA, nor requirements of .verify() itself, nor its
output expectations in public_key_verify_signature aren't satisfied.

Make alternative .verify2() call which gets hash value and produce
complete signature check (without any output, thus max_size() call will
not be needed for verify2() operation).

If .verify2() call is present, it should be used in place of .verify().
