Hi Stefan,

Does CONFIG_MODULE_SIG_KEY_TYPE_ECDSA have a dependency on MODULE_SIG_SHA256?

You are right, per the code above it does have a dependency on SHA256. ECDSA is using NIST p384 (secp384r1) for signing and per my tests it can be paired with all the sha hashes once the code above is extended. Now when it comes to module signing, should we pair it with a particular hash? I am not currently aware of a guidance document on this but sha256 and sha384 seem to be good choices these days, so maybe selecting ECDSA module signing should have a 'depends on' on these?
