ECDSA Keys, Sign & Verify illustration

ECDSA Keys, Sign & Verify

Generates elliptic-curve key pairs and signs and verifies messages with ECDSA on the NIST P-256, P-384 and P-521 curves. Elliptic-curve keys give the same security as RSA at a fraction of the size — a 256-bit EC key matches 3072-bit RSA.

Runs 100% in your browser — keys and data never leave your device.

Notes

  • P-256 (secp256r1) is the most widely supported curve and powers most modern TLS handshakes and JWT ES256.
  • ECDSA needs a unique random nonce per signature; reusing one leaks the private key. The Web Crypto API handles this for you.
  • Runs 100% in your browser — keys and data never leave your device.
