On the other hand, the signature size is the same for both DSA and ECDSA: approximately bits, where is the exponent in the formula , that is, about 320 bits for a security level of 80 bits, which is equivalent to operations.
DSA is a variant of the Schnorr and ElGamal signature schemes. [1]: 486 The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) proposed DSA for use in their Digital Signature Standard (DSS) in 1991, and adopted it as FIPS 186 in 1994. [2] Five revisions to the initial specification have been released.
DL/ECSSA (Discrete Logarithm/Elliptic Curve Signature Scheme with Appendix): Includes four main variants: DSA, ECDSA, Nyberg-Rueppel, and Elliptic Curve Nyberg-Rueppel. IFSSA (Integer Factorization Signature Scheme with Appendix): Includes two variants of RSA , Rabin-Williams, and ESIGN, with several message encoding methods.
An X.509 certificate binds an identity to a public key using a digital signature. A certificate contains an identity (a hostname, or an organization, or an individual) and a public key (RSA, DSA, ECDSA, ed25519, etc.), and is either signed by a certificate authority or is self
ECQV certificates are useful for any ECC scheme where the private and public keys are of the form ( d, dG). This includes key agreement protocols such as ECDH and ECMQV, or signing algorithms such as ECDSA. The operation will fail if the certificate has been altered, as the reconstructed public key will be invalid.
In the signature schemes DSA and ECDSA, this nonce is traditionally generated randomly for each signature—and if the random number generator is ever broken and predictable when making a signature, the signature can leak the private key, as happened with the Sony PlayStation 3 firmware update signing key.

A digital signature is an authentication mechanism that enables the creator of the message to attach a code that acts as a signature. The Digital Signature Algorithm (DSA), developed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology, is one of many examples of a signing algorithm. In the following discussion, 1 n refers to a unary number.
