ECDSA
A widely used way to create and verify digital signatures using elliptic-curve math.
The Elliptic-Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) lets a private-key holder sign data so anyone with the matching public key can verify it, while keeping signatures and keys small. It underpins TLS certificates, code signing, and more. microZeus added ECDSA support so certificate chains using it can be verified.
