implementations supports fixed amount of signature methods, with

to just treat this ASN.1 object as binary blob which is compared

Currently only the RSASSA-PSS uses the parameters, for all others the
parameters is either NULL or missing. Note, that for some algorithms
there is two possible ASN.1 encoding possible, one with parameters
being NULL and others where the whole parameters is omitted. This is
because some of those algorithms are specified that way. When
encoding the ASN.1 implementations should use the preferred way, i.e.
if the algorithm specification says "preferredPresent" then parameter
object needs to be there (i.e. it will be NULL if no parameters is
specified), and if it says "preferredAbsent", then the whole
parameters object is missing.

A.1. PKCS#1 1.5 RSA Encryption
These algorithm identifiers here include several different ASN.1
objects with different hash algorithms. In this document we only
include the commonly used ones i.e. the one using SHA-1, or SHA-2 as
hash function. Some of those other algorithms (MD2, MD5) specified
for this are not safe enough to be used as signature hash algorithm,
and some are omitted as there is no hash algorithm specified in the
our IANA registry for them. Note, that there is no parameters in any
of these, but all specified here needs to have NULL parameters
present in the ASN.1.
See Algorithms and Identifiers for PKIX Profile ([RFC3279]) and
Additional Algorithms and Identifiers for RSA Cryptography for PKIX
Profile ([RFC4055]) for more information.
A.1.1. sha1WithRSAEncryption
sha1WithRSAEncryption OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { iso(1) member-body(2)
us(840) rsadsi(113549) pkcs(1) pkcs-1(1) 5 }
Parameters are required, and they must be NULL.
XXX binary object missing
A.1.2. sha256WithRSAEncryption
sha256WithRSAEncryption OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { pkcs-1 11 }
Parameters are required, and they must be NULL.
XXX binary object missing
A.1.3. sha384WithRSAEncryption
sha384WithRSAEncryption OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { pkcs-1 12 }
Parameters are required, and they must be NULL.
XXX binary object missing
A.1.4. sha512WithRSAEncryption
sha512WithRSAEncryption OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { pkcs-1 13 }
Parameters are required, and they must be NULL.
XXX binary object missing
A.2. DSA
With different DSA algorithms the parameters are always omitted.
Again we omit dsa-with-sha224 as there is no hash algorithm in our
IANA registry for it.
See Algorithms and Identifiers for PKIX Profile ([RFC3279]) and PKIX
Additional Algorithms and Identifiers for DSA and ECDSA ([RFC5758]
for more information.
A.2.1. dsa-with-sha1
dsa-with-sha1 OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { iso(1) member-body(2) us(840)
x9-57(10040) x9algorithm(4) 3 }
Parameters are absent.
XXX binary object missing
A.2.2. dsa-with-sha256
dsa-with-sha256 OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { joint-iso-ccitt(2)
country(16) us(840) organization(1) gov(101) csor(3) algorithms(4)
id-dsa-with-sha2(3) 2 }
Parameters are absent.
XXX binary object missing
A.3. ECDSA
With different ECDSA algorithms the parameters are always omitted.
Again we omit ecdsa-with-sha224 as there is no hash algorithm in our
IANA registry for it.
See Elliptic Curve Cryptography Subject Public Key Information
([RFC5480]), Algorithms and Identifiers for PKIX Profile ([RFC3279])
and PKIX Additional Algorithms and Identifiers for DSA and ECDSA
([RFC5758] for more information.
A.3.1. ecdsa-with-sha1
ecdsa-with-SHA1 OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { iso(1) member-body(2) us(840)
ansi-X9-62(10045) signatures(4) 1 }
Parameters are absent.
XXX binary object missing
A.3.2. ecdsa-with-sha256
ecdsa-with-SHA256 OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { iso(1) member-body(2)
us(840) ansi-X9-62(10045) signatures(4) ecdsa-with-SHA2(3) 2 }
Parameters are absent.
XXX binary object missing
A.3.3. ecdsa-with-sha384
ecdsa-with-SHA384 OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { iso(1) member-body(2)
us(840) ansi-X9-62(10045) signatures(4) ecdsa-with-SHA2(3) 3 }
Parameters are absent.
XXX binary object missing
A.3.4. ecdsa-with-sha512
ecdsa-with-SHA512 OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { iso(1) member-body(2)
us(840) ansi-X9-62(10045) signatures(4) ecdsa-with-SHA2(3) 4 }
Parameters are absent.
XXX binary object missing
A.4. RSASSA-PSS
With the RSASSA-PSS the algorithm object identifier is always id-
RSASSA-PSS, but the hash function is taken from the parameters, and
it is required. See [RFC4055] for more information.
A.4.1. RSASSA-PSS with empty parameters
id-RSASSA-PSS OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { pkcs-1 10 }
Parameters are empty, but the ASN.1 part of the sequence must be
there. This means default parameters are used (same as the next
example).
XXX binary object missing
A.4.2. RSASSA-PSS with default parameters
id-RSASSA-PSS OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { pkcs-1 10 }
Here the parameters are present, and contains the default parameters,
i.e. SHA-1, mgf1SHA1, saltlength of 20, trailerfield of 1.
XXX binary object missing
