Original documents are written in Russian. +English translations are provided in @cite{RFC 5832} and @cite{RFC 7091}. +While technically nothing stops one from using GOSTDSA over any curve, it +is defined only over several 256 and 512-bit curves. Like DSA and ECDSA, +creating a signature requires a unique random nonce (repeating the nonce +with two different messages reveals the private key, and any leak or bias +in the generation of the nonce also leaks information about the key). + +GOST R 34.10-2001 was defined to use GOST R 34.11-94 hash function +(GOSTHASH94 and GOSTHASH94CP, @cite{RFC 5831}). GOST R 34.10-2012 is +defined to use GOST R 34.11-2012 hash function (Streebog, @cite{RFC +6986}) of corresponding size (256 or 512) depending on curve size. + +Nettle defines GOSTDSA in @file{<nettle/gostdsa.h>}. GOSTDSA reuses ECDSA +data types (@code{struct ecc_point}, @code{struct ecc_scalar}) to +represent public and private keys.
