RustCrypto: ECDSA

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

Documentation

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)
  • p384 (NIST P-384)
• Other crates which provide their own complete implementations of ECDSA can also leverage the types from this crate to export ECDSA functionality in a generic, interoperable way by leveraging ecdsa::Signature with the signature::Signer and signature::Verifier traits.

⚠️ Security Warning

The ECDSA implementation contained in this crate has never been independently audited for security!

This crate contains a generic implementation of ECDSA which must be instantiated using a separate crate providing a concrete implementation of arithmetic for a particular curve. It's possible timing variability can exist in concrete curve implementations, and thus this crate's security can only be properly assessed for a specific elliptic curve.

USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!

Minimum Supported Rust Version

This crate requires Rust 1.73 at a minimum.

We may change the MSRV in the future, but it will be accompanied by a minor version bump.
