// Package btcec implements support for the elliptic curves needed for bitcoin. |
|
// |
|
// Bitcoin uses elliptic curve cryptography using koblitz curves |
|
// (specifically secp256k1) for cryptographic functions. See |
|
// http://www.secg.org/collateral/sec2_final.pdf for details on the |
|
// standard. |
|
// |
|
// This package provides the data structures and functions implementing the |
|
// crypto/elliptic Curve interface in order to permit using these curves |
|
// with the standard crypto/ecdsa package provided with go. Helper |
|
// functionality is provided to parse signatures and public keys from |
|
// standard formats. It was designed for use with btcd, but should be |
|
// general enough for other uses of elliptic curve crypto. It was originally based |
|
// on some initial work by ThePiachu, but has significantly diverged since then. |
