We've had some suggestions/requests to add deterministic DSA and ECDSA signatures to the library. RFC 6769 <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6979> discusses the reasons for them in-depth. The abbreviated version is:
- hardening - ensure *k* is not accidentally weak - testability - repeatable results to ensure proper operation - compatibility - completely compatible with existing schemes I think its a good idea, especially on resource constrained devices, like IoT gadgets. (I'm not sure how much signing they will do, but they will be able to do it if needed). We are tracking this request at "Deterministic DSA and ECDSA signatures", http://github.com/weidai11/cryptopp/issues/121. The floor is open for comments, suggestions and objections.
