+### rust-secp256k1
+
+`rust-secp256k1` is a wrapper around ![libsecp256k1](https://github.com/bitcoin/secp256k1),
+a C library by Peter Wuille for producing ECDSA signatures using the SECG curve
+`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`
