ECDSA Data Integrity Cryptosuites

This specification describes a Data Integrity Cryptosuite for use when generating a digital signature using the Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) based on the Standards for Efficient Cryptography over prime fields using a verifiably random Elliptic Curve (secpr1).

We encourage contributions meeting the Contribution Guidelines. While we prefer the creation of issues and Pull Requests in the GitHub repository, discussions also occur on the public-vc-wg mailing list.
