Introduction
N.Koblitz and V.Miller proposed the application of elliptic curves to public key cryptography respectively in 1985. The nature of the curve on which the public key cryptography of elliptic curve is based is as follows:
— The elliptic curve on the finite field constitutes a finite exchange group under the point addition operation, and its order is similar to the base field size;
— Similar to the power operation in the finite field multiplication group, the elliptic curve multi-point operation constitutes a one-way function.
In the multi-point operation, the multiple points and the base point are known, and the problem of solving the multiple is called the discrete logarithm of elliptic curve. For the discrete logarithm problem of general elliptic curves, there is only a solution method for exponential computational complexity. Compared with the large number decomposition problems and the discrete logarithm problems on the finite field, the discrete logarithm problem of elliptic curve is much more difficult to solve. Therefore, elliptic curve ciphers are much smaller than other public key ciphers at the same level of security.
SM2 is the standard of elliptic curve cryptographic algorithm developed and proposed by the State Cryptography Administration. The main objectives of GB/T 32918 are as follows:
— GB/T 32918.1 defines and describes the concepts and basic mathematical knowledge of cryptography algorithm SM2 based on elliptic curves, and summarizes the relationship between Part 1 and other parts.
— GB/T 32918.2 describes a signature algorithm based on elliptic curves, namely SM2 signature algorithm.
— GB/T 32918.3 describes a key exchange protocol based on elliptic curves, namely SM2 key exchange protocol.
— GB/T 32918.4 describes a public key cryptographic algorithm based on elliptic curves, namely SM2 cryptographic algorithm, which requires the SM3 cryptographic hash algorithm defined in GB/T 32905-2016.
— GB/T 32918.5 gives the elliptic curve parameters used by SM2 algorithm and the example results of SM2 operation using elliptic curve parameters.
This part is Part 2 of GB/T 32918, it describes the signature algorithm based on elliptic curves.
