Type Alias

ECDSAParameters

A typealias representing the parameters of an ECDSA (Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm) key.
typealias ECDSAParameters = (x: String, y: String)

Parameters

x

A String representing the x-coordinate on the elliptic curve.

y

A String representing the y-coordinate on the elliptic curve.

Discussion

This tuple consists of two strings representing the x and y coordinates on the elliptic curve. These coordinates are crucial in defining the public key in ECDSA cryptography. They are typically encoded in Base64 or a similar encoding format.

The x and y coordinates are represented as strings for easier handling and conversion, especially when dealing with different encoding and serialization formats like PEM, DER, or others commonly used in cryptographic operations.
