Subject: [PATCH v1 2/8] crypto/akcipher: Support ECDSA sign/verify with gcrypt
Date: Tue, 18 Aug 2026 09:22:55 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260818092249.602137-3-jamin_lin@aspeedtech.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260818092249.602137-1-jamin_lin@aspeedtech.com>
Implement ECDSA signing and verification for the gcrypt backend, for the
prime256v1 (NIST P-256) and secp384r1 (NIST P-384) curves. The
encrypt/decrypt driver ops return an error, as ECDSA is a signature
algorithm. The public key is provided as the raw affine coordinates
Qx || Qy, the private key as the raw scalar d, and the signature as the
raw pair r || s (each half the curve size, big-endian); the input to
sign/verify is a pre-computed message digest.
