Alice((("digital signatures", "schnorr signature algorithm", "examples of usage")))((("schnorr signature algorithm", "examples of usage"))) starts by choosing a large random number (+x+), which we call her
_private key_. She also knows a public point on Bitcoin's elliptic

multiplication to multiply +G+ by her private key +x+, in which case +x+
