README
Information
This library is a rewrite/update of Matyas Danter's ECC library. All credit goes to him.
For more information on Elliptic Curve Cryptography please read this fine article.
The library supports the following curves:
- secp112r1
- secp256k1
- nistp192
- nistp224
- nistp256 / secp256r1
- nistp384 / secp384r1
- nistp521
During ECDSA, a random value k is required. It is acceptable to use a true RNG to generate this value, but
should the same k value ever be repeatedly used for a key, an attacker can recover that signing key.
The HMAC random generator can derive a deterministic k value from the message hash and private key, voiding
this concern.
The library uses a non-branching Montgomery ladder for scalar multiplication, as it's constant time and avoids secret dependant branches.
