Specification defining ECDSA signature data

I want to know which specification (or standard) defines the format of the ECDSA signature and public key data?

I am testing ECDSA signature on java card. I found out that there is TLV format in the signature and value of the public key.

* Public key (TV format)
[Tag=04] [public key value 1] [public key value 2]
04 038A3F59E813995DAB730588CFCBB985F5A1ED90C0D62960AE0B274D 2E6B12672318E0B113DECC0406B62887B6BCB9B1583B1A50779EAB5A

* Signature (TLV format)
[Tag=30] [Length=3C~3E] [Tag=02] [Length=1C~1D] [signature value 1] [Tag=02] [Length=1C~1D] [signature value 2]

I think that the data format is defined in some specifications or standards. I just want to know the title of the document.

The ASN.1 structure is defined in SEC 1: Elliptic Curve Cryptography (Part C: ASN.1 for Elliptic Curve Cryptography), from the SECG (Standards for Effective Cryptographic Group).

Here:
https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc5480.txt
Also ANDI X9.62 may be important, but not freely available, I think For example:



ECDSA-Sig-Value :: = SEQUENCE {r INTEGER, s INTEGER}

The public key value is an uncompressed point. It is defined by a value 04

that is the identifier for the uncompressed point, followed by the X and Y coordinates, where X and Y are encoded as unsigned strings that are the same size as the key size (same as the curve order size in the parameters ). Note that this is 04

also a tag for OCTET STRING in ASN.1, but this has nothing to do with the uncompressed point indicator.

The format of the domain parameters is unknown to me. It is of course not encoded as https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc5480.txt as Paul suggests. I am assuming this is some kind of proprietary DER format that uses multiple ASN.1 SEQUENCE values ​​filled with two ASN.1 INTEGER values. These integer values ​​(after the length) are signed, domainless, large Endian encodings, which, fortunately, are fully compatible with Java encoding BigInteger

.

Paul Bastian is right about the generated signature, X9.42 compatible. Regular signatures are not yet supported by Java Card.
