NAME

Crypt::ECDSA -- Digital Signature using Elliptic Curve Cryptography

LANGUAGE

Pure Perl, but relies on modules for SHA and BigInt support

DESCRIPTION

ELiiptic curves are believed to allow smaller secure key sizes for currently 
secure algorithms than standard RSA and DSA formulations of public /private 
key cryptography.  This module implements a subset of the DSS algorithm using 
elliptic curve cryptography descibed in the NIST publication FIPS 186-2 (2000).


To install the module...

perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install

If you are on a windows box you should use 'nmake' rather than 'make'.
