Hi,

Would it be possible to have OpenSSL support generation of ECDSA signatures
in a deterministic manner?

This would be necessary to implement RFC6962-bis. Specifically, Section
12.4 (draft 21) requires the use of deterministic signatures (
https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-trans-rfc6962-bis-21#section-12.4).

The rationale behind it is to prevent fingerprinting/tracking of TLS
clients by producing Signed Tree Heads / Signed Certificate Timestamps with
the same data but different signatures, then tracking propagation of these
SCTs / STHs via gossip protocols.

Thanks,
Eran
