Contributions summary:Quan contributed to the implementation of RSA signature protocols within the Tink library, focusing on RSA SSA with PKCS1-v1_5 encoding and RSA SSA using PSS encoding. Their work involved defining protocol buffer messages for RSA signature parameters and key formats. They also worked on the implementation of a class, RsaSsaPkcs1SignJce, for the RSA SSA PKCS1-v1_5 signing and verification process. They also refactored the existing code to support signature encoding for IEEE_P1363.
