==Abstract==
This document specifies proposed changes to the Bitcoin transaction validity rules to restrict signatures to strict DER encoding.
==Copyright==
This BIP is licensed under the 2-clause BSD license.
==Motivation==
Bitcoin's reference implementation currently relies on OpenSSL for signature validation, which means it is implicitly defining Bitcoin's block validity rules. Unfortunately, OpenSSL is not designed for consensus-critical behaviour (it does not guarantee bug-for-bug compatibility between versions), and thus changes to it can - and have - affected Bitcoin software.
