The recent evens (see the thread titled\n\u003e \"OpenSSL 1.0.0p / 1.0.1k incompatible, causes blockchain rejection.\"\n\u003e on this mailing list) have made it clear that the problem is very\n\u003e real, however, and I would prefer to have a fundamental solution for\n\u003e it sooner rather than later.\n\u003e \n\u003e I therefore propose a softfork to make non-DER signatures illegal\n\u003e (they've been non-standard since v0.8.0).

In addition, an\n\u003e implementation (including unit tests derived from the BIP text) can be\n\u003e found on:\n\u003e \n\u003e     https://github.com/sipa/bitcoin/commit/bipstrictder\n\u003e \n\u003e Comments/criticisms are very welcome, but I'd prefer keeping the\n\u003e discussion here on the mailinglist (which is more accessible than on\n\u003e the gist).\n\n-- \n'peter'[:-1]@petertodd.org\n00000000000000001a5e1dc75b28e8445c6e8a5c35c76637e33a3e96d487b74c\n-------------- next part --------------\nA non-text attachment was scrubbed...\nName: signature.asc\nType: application/pgp-signature\nSize: 650 bytes\nDesc: Digital signature\nURL: \u003chttp://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/bitcoin-dev/attachments/20150121/39547316/attachment.sig\u003e"}
