`secp256k1`. This library
* exposes type-safe Rust bindings for all `libsecp256k1` functions
* implements key generation
* implements deterministic nonce generation via RFC6979
* implements many unit tests, adding to those already present in `libsecp256k1`
2015-04-05 09:45:40 -07:00
* makes no allocations (except in unit tests) for efficiency and use in freestanding implementations
