It is designed so that it may be used with the +standard crypto/ecdsa packages provided with go. A comprehensive suite of test +is provided to ensure proper functionality. Package btcec was originally based +on work from ThePiachu which is licensed under the same terms as Go, but it has +signficantly diverged since then. The btcsuite developers original is licensed +under the liberal ISC license. + +Although this package was primarily written for btcd, it has intentionally been +designed so it can be used as a standalone package for any projects needing to +use secp256k1 elliptic curve cryptography. + +## Installation and Updating + +```bash +$ go install -u -v github.com/btcsuite/btcd/btcec/v2 +``` + +## Examples + +* [Sign Message](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/btcsuite/btcd/btcec/v2#example-package--SignMessage) + Demonstrates signing a message with a secp256k1 private key that is first + parsed form raw bytes and serializing the generated signature. + +* [Verify Signature](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/btcsuite/btcd/btcec/v2#example-package--VerifySignature) + Demonstrates verifying a secp256k1 signature against a public key that is + first parsed from raw bytes.
