“ECDSA
Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) and ECDSA are a specific flavor of asymmetric cryptography. They are widely used in blockchain technology because of three reasons:
ECDSA uses the algebraic structure of elliptic curves over finite fields. Without getting into the mathematics of it, they require a set of constants to define this curve. The constants used by most blockchains are set in the secp256k1 standard.”
