1. Introduction
1.1. General Information
1. GOST R 34.10-2012 [GOST3410-2012] was developed by the Center for
Information Protection and Special Communications of the Federal
Security Service of the Russian Federation with participation of
the open joint-stock company "Information Technologies and

1.2. The Purpose of GOST R 34.10-2012
GOST R 34.10-2012 describes the generation and verification processes
for digital signatures, based on operations with an elliptic curve
points group, defined over a prime finite field.
The necessity for developing this standard is caused by the need to
implement digital signatures of varying resistance due to growth of
computer technology. Digital signature security is based on the
complexity of discrete logarithm calculation in an elliptic curve
points group and also on the security of the hash function used
(according to GOST R 34.11-2012 [GOST3411-2012]).
1.3. Requirements Language
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119 [RFC2119].
2. Scope
GOST R 34.10-2012 defines an electronic digital signature (or simply
digital signature) scheme, digital signature generation and
verification processes for a given message (document), meant for
transmission via insecure public telecommunication channels in data
processing systems of different purposes.
Dolmatov & Degtyarev Informational [Page 3]
^L
RFC 7091 GOST R 34.10-2012 December 2013
Use of a digital signature based on GOST R 34.10-2012 makes
transmitted messages more resistant to forgery and loss of integrity,
in comparison with the digital signature scheme prescribed by the
previous standard.
GOST R 34.10-2012 is recommended for the creation, operation, and
modernization of data processing systems of various purposes.

image of the same function value as is the given input data;
and
3. it is difficult to find a pair of different input data that

that it is impossible to recover the initial message using the
digital signature; property 2 means that it is difficult to
find another (falsified) message that produces the same
digital signature as a given message; property 3 means that it
is difficult to find a pair of different messages that both
produce the same signature.
2. In this standard, the terms "hash function", "cryptographic
hash function", "hashing function", and "cryptographic hashing
function" are synonymous to provide terminological succession
to native legal documents currently in force and scientific
publications.

4. General Statements
A commonly accepted digital signature scheme (model) consists of
three processes:
- generation of a pair of keys (for signature generation and for
signature verification),
- signature generation, and
- signature verification.
In GOST R 34.10-2012, a process for generating a pair of keys (for
signature and verification) is not defined. Characteristics and ways
to realize the process are defined by involved subjects, who
determine corresponding parameters by their agreement.
The digital signature mechanism is defined by the realization of two
main processes (Section 6):
- signature generation (Section 6.1), and
- signature verification (Section 6.2).
The digital signature is meant for the authentication of the
signatory of the electronic message. Besides, digital signature
usage gives an opportunity to provide the following properties during
signed message transmission:
- realization of control of the transmitted signed message
integrity,
- proof of the authorship of the signatory of the message, and
- protection of the message against possible forgery.
A schematic representation of the signed message is shown in
Figure 1.

Figure 1: Signed Message Scheme
The field "digital signature" is supplemented by the field "text"
that can contain, for example, identifiers of the signatory of the
message and/or time label.
The digital signature scheme defined in GOST R 34.10-2012 must be
implemented using operations of the elliptic curve points group,
defined over a finite prime field, and also with the use of the hash
function.
The cryptographic security of the digital signature scheme is based
on the complexity of solving the problem of the calculation of the
discrete logarithm in the elliptic curve points group and also on the
security of the hash function used. The hash function calculation
algorithm is defined in GOST R 34.11-2012 [GOST3411-2012].
The digital signature scheme parameters needed for signature
generation and verification are defined in Section 5.2. This
standard provides the opportunity to select one of two options for
parameter requirements.
GOST R 34.10-2012 does not determine the process for generating the
parameters needed for the digital signature scheme. Possible sets of
these parameters are defined, for example, in [RFC4357].
The digital signature represented as a binary vector of a 512- or
1024-bit length must be calculated using a definite set of rules, as
stated in Section 6.1.
The digital signature of the received message is accepted or denied
in accordance with the set of rules, as stated in Section 6.2.
5. Mathematical Conventions
To define a digital signature scheme, it is necessary to describe
basic mathematical objects used in the signature generation and
verification processes. This section lays out basic mathematical
definitions and requirements for the parameters of the digital
signature scheme.
Dolmatov & Degtyarev Informational [Page 8]

RFC 7091 GOST R 34.10-2012 December 2013
5.1. Mathematical Definitions
Suppose a prime number p > 3 is given. Then, an elliptic curve E,
defined over a finite prime field GF(p), is the set of number pairs
(x,y), where x and y belong to Fp, satisfying the identity:
y^2 = x^3 + a * x + b (mod p), (1)
where a, b belong to GF(p) and 4 * a^3 + 27 * b^2 is not congruent to
zero modulo p.
An invariant of the elliptic curve is the value J(E), satisfying the
equality:
4 * a^3
J(E) = 1728 * ------------------ (mod p) (2)
4 * a^3 + 27 * b^2
Elliptic curve E coefficients a, b are defined in the following way
using the invariant J(E):
| a = 3 * k (mod p),
| (3)
| b = 2 * k (mod p),
J(E)
where k = ----------- (mod p), J(E) /= 0 or 1728
1728 - J(E)
The pairs (x, y) satisfying the identity (1) are called "the elliptic
curve E points"; x and y are called x- and y-coordinates of the
point, correspondingly.
We will denote elliptic curve points as Q(x, y) or just Q. Two
elliptic curve points are equal if their x- and y-coordinates are
equal.
On the set of all elliptic curve E points, we will define the
addition operation, denoted by "+". For two arbitrary elliptic curve
E points Q1 (x1, y1) and Q2 (x2, y2), we will consider several
variants.
Suppose coordinates of points Q1 and Q2 satisfy the condition x1 /=
x2. In this case, their sum is defined as a point Q3 (x3, y3), with
coordinates defined by congruencies:
Dolmatov & Degtyarev Informational [Page 9]
^L
RFC 7091 GOST R 34.10-2012 December 2013
| x3 = lambda^2 - x1 - x2 (mod p),
| (4)
| y3 = lambda * (x1 - x3) - y1 (mod p),
y1 - y2
where lambda = -------- (mod p).
x1 - x2
If x1 = x2 and y1 = y2 /= 0, then we will define point Q3 coordinates
in the following way:
| x3 = lambda^2 - x1 * 2 (mod p),
| (5)
| y3 = lambda * (x1 - x3) - y1 (mod p),
3 * x1^2 + a
where lambda = ------------ (mod p)
y1 * 2
If x1 = x2 and y1 = -y2 (mod p), then the sum of points Q1 and Q2 is
called a zero point O, without determination of its x- and y-
coordinates. In this case, point Q2 is called a negative of point
Q1. For the zero point, the equalities hold:
O + Q = Q + O = Q, (6)
where Q is an arbitrary point of elliptic curve E.
A set of all points of elliptic curve E, including the zero point,
forms a finite abelian (commutative) group of order m regarding the
introduced addition operation. For m, the following inequalities
hold:
p + 1 - 2 * sqrt(p) =< m =< p + 1 + 2 * sqrt(p) (7)
The point Q is called "a point of multiplicity k", or just "a
multiple point of the elliptic curve E", if for some point P, the
following equality holds:
Q = P + ... + P = k * P (8)
-----+-----
k
5.2. Digital Signature Parameters
The digital signature parameters are:
- prime number p is an elliptic curve modulus.
Dolmatov & Degtyarev Informational [Page 10]
^L
RFC 7091 GOST R 34.10-2012 December 2013
- elliptic curve E, defined by its invariant J(E) or by coefficients
a, b belonging to GF(p).
- integer m is an elliptic curve E points group order.
- prime number q is an order of a cyclic subgroup of the elliptic
curve E points group, which satisfies the following conditions:
| m = nq, n belongs to Z, n >= 1
| (9)
| 2^254 < q < 2^256 or 2^508 < q < 2^512
- point P /= O of an elliptic curve E, with coordinates (x_p, y_p),
satisfying the equality q * P = O.
- hash function h(.):V_all -> V_l, which maps the messages
represented as binary vectors of arbitrary finite length onto
binary vectors of an l-bit length. The hash function is defined
in GOST R 34.11-2012 [GOST3411-2012].
If 2^254 < q < 2^256, then l = 256.
If 2^508 < q < 2^512, then l = 512.
Every user of the digital signature scheme must have its personal
keys:
- signature key, which is an integer d, satisfying the inequality 0
< d < q;
- verification key, which is an elliptic curve point Q with
coordinates (x_q, y_q), satisfying the equality d * P = Q.
The previously introduced digital signature parameters must satisfy
the following requirements:
- it is necessary that the condition p^t /= 1 (mod q) holds for all
integers t = 1, 2, ..., B, where
B = 31 if 2^254 < q < 2^256, or
B = 131 if 2^508 < q < 2^512;
- it is necessary that the inequality m /= p holds;
- the curve invariant must satisfy the condition J(E) /= 0, 1728.

RFC 7091 GOST R 34.10-2012 December 2013
5.3. Binary Vectors
To determine the digital signature generation and verification
processes, it is necessary to map the set of integers onto the set of
binary vectors of an l-bit length.
Consider the following binary vector of an l-bit length where low-
order bits are placed on the right, and high-order ones are placed on
the left:
H = (alpha[l-1], ..., alpha[0]), H belongs to V_l (10)
where alpha[i], i = 0, ..., l-1 are equal to 1 or to 0. The number
alpha belonging to Z is mapped onto the binary vector h, if the
equality holds:
alpha = alpha[0]*2^0 + alpha[1]*2^1 + ... + alpha[l-1]*2^(l-1) (11)
For two binary vectors H1 and H2:
H1 = (alpha[l-1], ..., alpha[0]),
(12)
H2 = (beta[l-1], ..., beta[0]),
which correspond to integers alpha and beta, we define a
concatenation (union) operation in the following way:
H1||H2 = (alpha[l-1], ..., alpha[0], beta[l-1], ..., beta[0]) (13)
that is a binary vector of 2*l-bit length, consisting of coefficients
of the vectors H1 and H2.
On the other hand, the introduced formulae define a way to divide a
binary vector H of 2*l-bit length into two binary vectors of l-bit
length, where H is the concatenation of the two.
6. Main Processes
In this section, the digital signature generation and verification
processes of a user's message are defined.
To realize the processes, it is necessary that all users know the
digital signature scheme parameters, which satisfy the requirements
of Section 5.2.
Besides, every user must have the signature key d and the
verification key Q(x_q, y_q), which also must satisfy the
requirements of Section 5.2.

RFC 7091 GOST R 34.10-2012 December 2013
6.1. Digital Signature Generation Process
It is necessary to perform the following actions (steps) to obtain
the digital signature for the message M belonging to V_all. This is
Algorithm I.
Step 1. Calculate the message hash code M:
H = h(M) (14)
Step 2. Calculate an integer alpha, the binary representation of
which is the vector H, and determine:
e = alpha (mod q) (15)
If e = 0, then assign e = 1.
Step 3. Generate a random (pseudorandom) integer k, satisfying the
inequality:
0 < k < q (16)
Step 4. Calculate the elliptic curve point C = k * P and determine:
r = x_C (mod q), (17)
where x_C is the x-coordinate of the point C. If r = 0,
return to step 3.
Step 5. Calculate the value:
s = (r * d + k * e) (mod q) (18)
If s = 0, return to Step 3.
Step 6. Calculate the binary vectors R and S, corresponding to r and
s, and determine the digital signature zeta = (R || S) as a
concatenation of these two binary vectors.
The initial data of this process are the signature key d and the
message M to be signed. The output result is the digital signature
zeta.
6.2. Digital Signature Verification
To verify the digital signature for the received message M, it is
necessary to perform the following actions (steps). This is
Algorithm II.
Dolmatov & Degtyarev Informational [Page 13]
^L
RFC 7091 GOST R 34.10-2012 December 2013
Step 1. Calculate the integers r and s using the received signature
zeta. If the inequalities 0 < r < q, 0 < s < q hold, go to
the next step. Otherwise, the signature is invalid.
Step 2. Calculate the hash code of the received message M:
H = h(M) (19)
Step 3. Calculate the integer alpha, the binary representation of
which is the vector H, and determine if:
e = alpha (mod q) (20)
If e = 0, then assign e = 1.
Step 4. Calculate the value:
v = e^(-1) (mod q) (21)
Step 5. Calculate the values:
z1 = s * v (mod q), z2 = -r * v (mod q) (22)
Step 6. Calculate the elliptic curve point C = z1 * P + z2 * Q and
determine:
R = x_C (mod q), (23)
where x_C is x-coordinate of the point.
Step 7. If the equality R = r holds, then the signature is accepted.
Otherwise, the signature is invalid.
The input data of the process are the signed message M, the digital
signature zeta, and the verification key Q. The output result is the
witness of the signature validity or invalidity.
7. Test Examples (Appendix to GOST R 34.10-2012)
