ECDSA

  • ECDSA (Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm) is a cryptographic algorithm used for digital signatures based on elliptic curve mathematics.
  • It ensures message authenticity and integrity with shorter key sizes, providing high security and efficiency.
  • ECDSA is widely used in blockchain (e.g., Bitcoin), digital certificates, and secure communications. It involves signature creation and verification using private and public keys.
