Description: Pure Python ctypes wrapper for libsecp256k1
This package provides a pure Python interface to the native C library
libsecp256k1, which is a highly optimized library for cryptographic operations
on the secp256k1 elliptic curve.
.
Unlike other wrappers that might embed or compile their own C code, this
package leverages the system-installed version of libsecp256k1, ensuring
compatibility and security by relying on a trusted, widely-used and maintained
system library.
.
It utilizes the Python ctypes foreign function library to dynamically load and
call functions from libsecp256k1 at runtime, providing a low-overhead and
efficient bridge between Python and the high-performance C implementation.
.
This package is an essential component for projects requiring fast and secure
Elliptic Curve Cryptography, such as the Electrum Bitcoin wallet, and is
suitable for developers needing to perform tasks like key generation, ECDSA
signature verification, and Schnorr signatures.
