parity-secp256k1

parity-secp256k1 is a wrapper around libsecp256k1, a C library by Peter Wuille for producing ECDSA signatures using the SECG curve secp256k1. It is a fork of rust-secp256k1.

This library

• exposes type-safe Rust bindings for all libsecp256k1 functions
• implements key generation
• implements deterministic nonce generation via RFC6979
• implements many unit tests, adding to those already present in libsecp256k1
• makes no allocations (except in unit tests) for efficiency and use in freestanding implementations
