ecdsa 0.16.9

Pure Rust implementation of the Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) as specified in FIPS 186-4 (Digital Signature Standard), providing RFC6979 deterministic signatures as well as support for added entropy
Documentation
//! Low-level ECDSA primitives.
//!
//! # ⚠️ Warning: Hazmat!
//!
//! YOU PROBABLY DON'T WANT TO USE THESE!
//!
//! These primitives are easy-to-misuse low-level interfaces.
//!
//! If you are an end user / non-expert in cryptography, do not use these!
//! Failure to use them correctly can lead to catastrophic failures including
//! FULL PRIVATE KEY RECOVERY!
