ECDSA

cryptography

Stands for: Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm

A signature algorithm using elliptic curves - smaller keys than RSA for the same strength.

Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (FIPS 186-5) provides digital signatures with far smaller keys than RSA at equivalent security, which is why modern certificates increasingly use ECDSA keys.
