RE: Why does steem use this canonical thing instead of strict secp256k1?

in #beyondbitcoin8 years ago

This has nothing to do with the secp256k1 implementation in use but rather with the canonicality check and the way k is derived and updated if canonicality isnt achieved.
libsecp256k1 even offers an optional API to overwrite how to deal with a deterministic k and tret it if necessary.
