This is an easy-to-use implementation of ECDSA cryptography (Elliptic Curve
|
|
Digital Signature Algorithm), implemented purely in Python, released under
|
|
the MIT license. With this library, you can quickly create keypairs (signing
|
|
key and verifying key), sign messages, and verify the signatures. The keys
|
|
and signatures are very short, making them easy to handle and incorporate
|
|
into other protocols.
|

|
|
Features
|
|
|
|
This library provides key generation, signing, and verifying, for five
|
|
popular NIST "Suite B" GF(p) curves, with key lengths of 192, 224, 256, 384,
|
|
and 521 bits. The "short names" for these curves, as known by the OpenSSL
|
|
tool (`openssl ecparam --list_curves`), are: prime192v1, secp224r1,
|
|
prime256v1, secp384r1, and secp521r1. It also includes the 256-bit curve used
|
|
by Bitcoin, whose short name is secp256k1. No other curves are included, but
|
|
it would not be too hard to add more.
