What is ECDSA cryptography?
ECDSA, or Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm, is a digital signature algorithm based on elliptic curve cryptography. It provides high security with smaller key sizes compared to traditional algorithms like RSA. ECDSA uses a private key for signing and a public key for verification, ensuring the integrity and authenticity of messages.
