An RSA signature value (or encrypted message value) is a congruence class modulo the field prime, and so adding a multiple of the field prime does not logically change the validity of the signature (or the content of the encrypted message). However, RFC 8017 states that both the decryption primitive (section 5.1.2) and the verification primitive (section 5.2.2) should reject non-canonical input values (i.e. any value that is not strictly less than the field prime), and some public test vector sets check for this rejection. Treat any signature value or encrypted message value that is equal to or greater than the field prime as being invalid. Signed-off-by: Michael Brown <mcb30@ipxe.org>
iPXE network bootloader
iPXE is the leading open source network boot firmware. It provides a full PXE implementation enhanced with additional features such as:
-
boot from a web server via HTTP or HTTPS,
-
boot from an iSCSI, FCoE, or AoE SAN,
-
control the boot process with a script,
You can use iPXE to replace the existing PXE ROM on your network card, or you can chainload into iPXE to obtain the features of iPXE without the hassle of reflashing.
iPXE is free, open-source software licensed under the GNU GPL (with some portions under GPL-compatible licences).
You can download the rolling release binaries (built from the latest commit), or use the most recent stable release.
