RSA Key Pair Generation

An RSA key pair consists of an RSA private key, which is used to compute a digital signature, and an RSA public key, which is used to verify a digital signature. An RSA key pair used for
digital signatures shall only be used for digital signatures, not for other purposes (e.g., key establishment).

An RSA public key consists of a modulus n, which is the product of two positive prime integers [..]

Digital Signatures – Key Pair Management

The secure use of digital signatures depends on the management of an entity’s digital signature key pair as follows:

1. The validity of the domain parameters shall be assured prior to the generation of the key pair, or the verification and validation of a digital signature .
2. Each key pair shall be associated with the domain parameters under which the key pair was generated.
3. Key pairs shall only be used to generate [..]
