ecdsa

crates.io · v0.17.0 · Apache-2.0 OR MIT

Pure Rust implementation of the Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) as specified in FIPS 186-4 (Digital Signature Standard), implemented generically over elliptic curves, providing RFC6979 deterministic signing support as well as randomized signatures and signature verification

Tentative categories were assigned with moderate confidence (0.5 to 0.75): they are shown, but they do not count toward a category’s momentum. How categories work

Growth by period

Derived by Crest of Tech from two observations of crates.io’s own figure, a period apart. Nothing is stored or estimated: without an observation near the period’s start, the period is still collecting.
