# Quiz 18

#### In ECDSA, the private key is derived from the public key.

* [ ] True
*

   False

**Notes to Learners**

Alice starts by creating her key pair: She chooses a random integer d (where 0 < d < q). This becomes her private key. She computes Kₚᵤᵦ = d × G, where G is the generator point of the elliptic curve. The result is her public key.
