# Quiz 14 #### What are the key steps in the ECDSA digital signature protocol? * [x] Key generation * [x] Signing algorithm * [x] Verification algorithm * [ ] Encryption algorithm * [ ] Decryption algorithm **Notes for Learning** ECDSA follows the same high-level steps as the generic Digital Signature Protocol: 1. Key Generation – Create a private/public key pair. 2. Signing Algorithm – Apply a mathematical transformation. 3. Verification Algorithm – Apply another transformation to confirm validity. To learn more about it, you can follow the course [Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA)](https://bsvblockchain.360learning.com/course/play/68dcfb7db22b823a03f88909) --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter: ``` GET https://hub.bsvblockchain.org/higher-learning/bsv-academy/bitcoin-primitives-digital-signatures/quiz/quiz-14.md?ask= ``` The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
