From 78c16c9b16dc9c64d1ddad6db5afaab12e87e8f2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Adam Langley Date: Mon, 6 Jan 2014 16:11:58 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] crypto/rsa: support unpadded signatures. Usually when a message is signed it's first hashed because RSA has low limits on the size of messages that it can sign. However, some protocols sign short messages directly. This isn't a great idea because the messages that can be signed suddenly depend on the size of the RSA key, but several people on golang-nuts have requested support for this and it's very easy to do.
