### Information

[](#information)

This library is a rewrite/update of Matyas Danter's ECC library. All credit goes to him.

For more information on Elliptic Curve Cryptography please read [this fine article](http://www.matyasdanter.com/2010/12/elliptic-curve-php-oop-dsa-and-diffie-hellman/).

The library supports the following curves:

- secp112r1
- secp256k1
- nistp192
- nistp224
- nistp256 / secp256r1
- nistp384 / secp384r1
- nistp521

During ECDSA, a random value `k` is required. It is acceptable to use a true RNG to generate this value, but should the same `k` value ever be repeatedly used for a key, an attacker can recover that signing key. The HMAC random generator can derive a deterministic k value from the message hash and private key, voiding this concern.

The library uses a non-branching Montgomery ladder for scalar multiplication, as it's constant time and avoids secret dependant branches.

### License

[](#license)

This package is released under the MIT license.

### Requirements

[](#requirements)
