Expand description

Try to sign the given message digest deterministically using the method described in RFC6979 for computing ECDSA ephemeral scalar k.

Accepts the following parameters:

  • d: signing key. MUST BE UNIFORMLY RANDOM!!!
  • z: message digest to be signed, i.e. H(m). Does not have to be reduced in advance.
  • ad: optional additional data, e.g. added entropy from an RNG
