Concept椭圆曲线数字签名算法 / Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm

ECDSA

A digital signature algorithm based on elliptic-curve cryptography, widely used for identity authentication and data integrity verification. It is highly sensitive to the quality of random numbers; reuse or predictability of nonces can lead to private key compromise.

ECDSA is relatively strong in security when implemented correctly, but is extremely sensitive to the quality of the random number k; if k is reused or is predictable, an attacker can recover the private key from a small number of signature samples.
