Hi Piotr, As you have found out, choosing the per message random number in ECDSA signature is crucial for the security of private key. Leaving this responsibility on users is dangerous. This is the reason you won't find any crypto API to feed the random number for ECDSA signature. If you want to see how ECDSA is implemented, refer crypto/ecdsa/ecs_ossl.c. Signature is generated in the following two steps. ecdsa_sign_setup: -- chooses the random number (k) and generates the first part of the ECDSA signature (r). -- returns inverse of k(required to generate second part of signature) and r ecdsa_do_sign: -- uses k inverse and r (received from ecdsa_sign_setup) to generate the second part of the signature(s). Thanks, Thulasi. On 7 May 2015 at 13:58, Piotr ?obacz <piotr.lobacz at radmor.com.pl> wrote: > As in the subject is it possible to generate signature with given random > number?
