As with elliptic-curve cryptography in general, the bit size of the private key believed to be needed for ECDSA is about twice the size of the security level, in bits. [1] For example, at a security level of 80 bits—meaning an attacker requires a maximum of about 2 80 {\displaystyle 2^{80}} operations to find the private key—the size of an ...
Elliptic-curve cryptography (ECC) is an approach to public-key cryptography based on the algebraic structure of elliptic curves over finite fields.ECC allows smaller keys to provide equivalent security, compared to cryptosystems based on modular exponentiation in Galois fields, such as the RSA cryptosystem and ElGamal cryptosystem.
P-384 is the elliptic curve currently specified in Commercial National Security Algorithm Suite for the ECDSA and ECDH algorithms. It is a 384-bit curve over a finite field of prime order approximately 394 × 10 113. [a] Its binary representation has 384 bits, with a simple pattern.

The Digital Signature Algorithm (DSA) is a public-key cryptosystem and Federal Information Processing Standard for digital signatures, based on the mathematical concept of modular exponentiation and the discrete logarithm problem.

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.
Such a system is called (t,n)-threshold, if at least t of these parties can efficiently decrypt the ciphertext, while fewer than t have no useful information. Similarly it is possible to define a (t,n) -threshold signature scheme , where at least t parties are required for creating a signature.
