Proposed DSS-specific fields for the generic authentication information element
This contribution proposes the format of the ``Algorithm-Specific Information`` and ``Signature`` fields within the ``Proposed Generic Authentication Information Element`` for authentication IEs based on the Digital Signature Standard (DSS). These fields are designed to allow various levels of authentication ``strength`` (or robustness), and many of these fields may be omitted in systems that optimize authentication performance by sharing common (public) Digital Signature Algorithm (DSA) parameters. This allows users and site security officers to design their authenticated signaling according to site security and performance requirements.
