For RSA only, not the many other signature algorithms, signing is hashing and padding then modexp with private key, which is vaguely like encryption, resulting in this description being used for a while four decades ago before people realized it was dangerously misleading; we have dozens of Qs and As on this. It is not at all like encrypting then hashing, not even vaguely. | |

| Aug 21, 2020 at 20:14 | comment | added | schroeder♦ | And in the links to wiki and the RFP for CSRs in your last question, do they not answer your question? In the wiki article I linked, do you see where it talks about ASN.1? | |
| Aug 21, 2020 at 20:13 | comment | added | schroeder♦ | So, when it says "RSA 2028" and "SHA256", do those terms mean anything to you or are they new terms? | |
