Struct ethers::signers::yubihsm::ecdsa::nistp256::NistP256

pub struct NistP256;

NIST P-256 elliptic curve.

This curve is also known as prime256v1 (ANSI X9.62) and secp256r1 (SECG) and is specified in FIPS 186-4: Digital Signature Standard (DSS):

https://nvlpubs.nist.gov/nistpubs/FIPS/NIST.FIPS.186-4.pdf

It’s included in the US National Security Agency’s “Suite B” and is widely used in protocols like TLS and the associated X.509 PKI.

Its equation is y² = x³ - 3x + b over a ~256-bit prime field where b is the “verifiably random”† constant:

b = 41058363725152142129326129780047268409114441015993725554835256314039467401291

† NOTE: the specific origins of this constant have never been fully disclosed (it is the SHA-1 digest of an inexplicable NSA-selected constant)
