You are right, per the code above it does have a dependency on SHA256. ECDSA is using NIST p384 (secp384r1) for signing and per my tests it can be paired with all the sha hashes once the code above is extended. Now when it comes to module signing, should we pair it with a particular hash? I am not currently aware of a guidance document on this but sha256 and sha384 seem to be good choices these days, so maybe selecting ECDSA module signing should have a 'depends on' on these? Stefan

[PATCH v2 2/2] certs: Add support for using elliptic curve keys for signing modules
Add support for using elliptic curve keys for signing modules. It uses a NIST P384 (secp384r1) key if the user chooses an elliptic curve key and will have ECDSA support built into the kernel. Note: A developer choosing an ECDSA key for signing modules should still delete the signing key (rm certs/signing_key.*) when building an older version of a kernel that only supports RSA keys. Unless kbuild automati- cally detects and generates a new kernel module key, ECDSA-signed kernel modules will fail signature verification.
