Using a secret generator in an elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) digital signature scheme

摘要

In a general aspect, a secret generator is used in an elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) scheme. In some aspects, an elliptic curve subgroup is specified by a public generator of an ECC system, and the secret generator is an element of the elliptic curve subgroup. In some instances, the secret generator is used to generate an ECC key pair that includes a public key and a private key, and the private key is used to generate a digital signature based on a message. In some instances, the public key and the secret generator are used to verify the digital signature.
