Abstract:
   Deterministic elliptic-curve signatures such as deterministic ECDSA
   and EdDSA have gained popularity over randomized ECDSA as their
   security do not depend on a source of high-quality randomness.
   Recent research has however found that implementations of these
   signature algorithms may be vulnerable to certain side-channel and
   fault injection attacks due to their determinism.  One countermeasure
   to such attacks is to re-add randomness to the otherwise
   deterministic calculation of the per-message secret number.  This
   document updates RFC 6979 and RFC 8032 to recommend constructions
   with additional randomness for deployments where side-channel attacks
   and fault injection attacks are a concern.  The updates are invisible
   to the validator of the signature and compatible with existing ECDSA
   and EdDSA validators.
