In bitcoin's implementation of the ECDSA algorithm, the "message" being signed is the transaction, or more accurately a hash of a specific subset of the data in the transaction (see <<sighash_types>>). The signing key is the user's private key. The result is the signature:
latexmath:[\(Sig = F_sig(F_hash(m), dA\)]
latexmath:[\(Sig = F_{sig}(F_{hash}(m), dA\)]
where:
* dA is the signing private key
* m is the transaction (or parts of it)
* F~hash~ is the hashing function
* F~sig~ is the signing algorithm
* Sig is the resulting signature
* _dA_ is the signing private key
* _m_ is the transaction (or parts of it)
* _F_~hash~ is the hashing function
* _F_~sig~ is the signing algorithm
* _Sig_ is the resulting signature
More details on the mathematics of ECDSA can be found in <<ecdsa_math>>.
