PSS

cryptography

Stands for: Probabilistic Signature Scheme

A randomized RSA signature scheme, more robust than the older deterministic padding.

Probabilistic Signature Scheme (RSASSA-PSS, RFC 8017) adds randomized salt to RSA signatures, giving stronger security proofs than the legacy PKCS#1 v1.5 padding. It is the recommended RSA signature padding in modern protocols.

Also known as: pss, RSA-PSS
