Topic: Secp256k1 Bitcoin signatures formula (Read 97 times)
The standard and the algorithm is the same everywhere but since there are different sources that have "written" that standard, they chose different terminologies. For example the "Standards for Efficient Cryptography" they use the term "e" in ECDSA formula for the integer derived from the message hash while in "Handbook of Applied Cryptography" it uses "h(m)" and wikipedia uses the term "z" for that integer.
Hello
In developers coding terms
M = message
H = Hashed message or hash
Z = bitcoin specific for double SHA2
K = nonce to randomize your sign output.
X = bitcoin specific for private key

Just putting it out here for those of you who, like me are very new in ECDSA Secp256k1 and wondering how to calculate the signatures or need hte formulas.
The M here means the same as Z signature in bitcoin transaction ..so input your Z in the M boxes. Most importantly, the formulas are given there as well.
why does different people call it Z, M or sometimes even call it H(m). i have no idea. confusing for me too earlier on but i caught up.
