secp256k1
An elliptic curve cryptography standard curve selected by Certicom around 2000. It is the elliptic curve used by Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, and the details of its parameter generation are limitedly documented in public literature.
Timeline (last 90 days)
ECDSA relies on specific elliptic curve parameters, such as secp256k1 (the curve used by Bitcoin) and NIST P-256, etc.
The parameters of secp256k1 were chosen by Certicom around 2000, but the specific seed value and derivation process are vaguely described in public literature.
