Crate ecdsa_flow

Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) as specified in FIPS 186-4 (Digital Signature Standard)

About

This crate provides generic ECDSA support which can be used in the following ways:

• Generic implementation of ECDSA usable with the following crates:
  • k256 (secp256k1)
  • p256 (NIST P-256)
• ECDSA signature types alone which can be used to provide interoperability between other crates that provide an ECDSA implementation:
  • p384 (NIST P-384)

Any crates which provide an implementation of ECDSA for a particular elliptic curve can leverage the types from this crate, along with the k256, p256, and/or p384 crates to expose ECDSA functionality in a generic, interoperable way by leveraging the Signature type with in conjunction with the signature_flow::Signer and signature_flow::Verifier traits.

For example, the ring-compat crate implements the signature_flow::Signer and signature_flow::Verifier traits in conjunction with the p256::ecdsa::Signature and p384::ecdsa::Signature types to wrap the ECDSA implementations from ring in a generic, interoperable API.
