ECDSA: The digital signature algorithm of a better internet

What's this blog post about?

The blog post discusses the adoption of elliptic curve digital signature algorithm (ECDSA) for improving performance on the internet. It highlights that ECC-enabled TLS is faster and more scalable, providing the same or better security than the default cryptography in use on the web. The author explains how ECDSA can be used to improve performance on the Internet and announces that CloudFlare now supports custom ECDSA certificates for their customers. It also compares ECDSA with RSA and mentions the benefits of using ECDSA, such as smaller keys and faster algorithms for generating signatures. The post concludes by emphasizing the importance of proper implementation to prevent potential security vulnerabilities in ECDSA.
