Description

Elliptic Curve Cryptography Library.

The ECC (Elliptic Curve Cryptography) API includes ECDSA verification on one of the elliptic curves recommended by NIST in csrc.nist.gov/groups/ST/toolkit/documents/dss/NISTReCur.pdf :

  • secp256r1: NIST/SECG X9.62 curve over a 256 bit prime field
