Digital signature is electronically password technique for electronic document signature. Elliptic curve cryptography is a method of public key cryptography based on elliptic curve mathematical. Digital signature scheme consists of three processes: initialization process, the signature generation process and signature verification process system. This paper analyzes the elliptic curve cryptosystems mathematical principle and technical performance. The paper proposes design of digital signature scheme based on elliptic curve cryptosystem.

Quantum computers are expected to have a dramatic impact on numerous fields due to their anticipated ability to solve classes of mathematical problems much more efficiently than their classical counterparts. This particularly applies to domains involving integer factorization and discrete logarithms, such as public key cryptography. In this paper, we consider the threats a quantum-capable adversary could impose on Bitcoin, which currently uses the Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) to sign transactions. We then propose a simple but slow commit–delay–reveal protocol, which allows users to securely move their funds from old (non-quantum-resistant) outputs to those adhering to a quantum-resistant digital signature scheme. The transition protocol functions even if ECDSA has already been compromised. While our scheme requires modifications to the Bitcoin protocol, these can be implemented as a soft fork.
