Overview
The sec package provides implementations of Standards for Efficient Cryptography (SEC), specifically supporting the SECP256K1 and SECP256R1 elliptic curves. It enables secure cryptographic operations such as key generation, signing, and verification in Dart applications across multiple platforms. Designed for developers working with blockchain, digital signatures, or secure communications, it offers a reliable foundation for ECC-based security features. The package is open-source and maintained with active development.
