As described in RFC 8017, RSASSA-PKCS1-V1_5 uses the following bytes during the encoding process :

0x30, 0x31, 0x30, 0x0d, 0x06, 0x09, 0x60, 0x86, 0x48, 0x01, 0x65, 0x03, 0x04, 0x02, 0x01, 0x05, 0x00, 0x04, 0x20

Does anybody know how to compute these values?

  • $\begingroup$ I mean : where do these values come from ? $\endgroup$ – cmdEvo Nov 22 '20 at 19:28
  • $\begingroup$ Yes, I have already read this part of the RFC but can somebody explain it to me ? $\endgroup$ – cmdEvo Nov 22 '20 at 19:46

Digging the RFC 8017

9.2. EMSA-PKCS1-v1_5

For the nine hash functions mentioned in Appendix B.1, the DER encoding T of the DigestInfo value is equal to the following:

and

A.2.4. RSASSA-PKCS-v1_5

The object identifier for RSASSA-PKCS1-v1_5 SHALL be one of the
following.

Both combined below;

Hash algorithm   OID                           the DER encoding T of the DigestInfo

and in

B.1. Hash Functions

The object identifiers id-md2, id-md5, id-sha1, id-sha224, id-sha256, id-sha384, id-sha512, id-sha512/224, and id-sha512/256 identify the
respective hash functions:

   id-md2      OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= {
       iso (1) member-body (2) us (840) rsadsi (113549)
       digestAlgorithm (2) 2
   }

   id-md5      OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= {
       iso (1) member-body (2) us (840) rsadsi (113549)
       digestAlgorithm (2) 5
   }
   ...

Therefore it is the DER encoding of the above object identifiers. See example on A Layman's Guide to a Subset of ASN.1, BER, and DER (5.9)
