Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA): A cryptographic algorithm that uses elliptic curves for the creation of digital signatures. It’s widely recognized for its strength despite using shorter key lengths, which results in more efficient processing. ECDSA provides assurance of data integrity, sender authenticity, and non-repudiation, meaning the signer cannot credibly deny having signed the data.
