ECDSA stands for "Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm." It is a digital signature algorithm that is based on the mathematics of elliptic curves. ECDSA is used to create digital signatures for electronic documents, which can be used to verify the authenticity and integrity of the documents.
In ECDSA, a private key is used to generate a digital signature, and a public key is used to verify the signature. The private key is kept secret, while the public key can be shared with others. When a document is signed with ECDSA, the digital signature is generated using the private key and is attached to the document. To verify the signature, the public key is used to decrypt the signature and compare it to a hash of the original document. If the signature is valid, it indicates that the document has not been tampered with and was indeed signed by the owner of the private key.
ECDSA is widely used in various applications, including secure communication over the Internet and digital certificates. It is known for providing strong security and being efficient in terms of computation time and resources.
