+Example test files for FIPS 186-3 ECDSA
+
+1. The files with extension '.rsp' are response files in the proper format for
+CAVS validation.
+
+2. The file SigGen.txt contains values for ECDSA signature generation with the
+following additional values needed to calculate r and s as in Section 6.4:
+ a. 'd' -- The private key.
+
+ b. 'k' -- The Per-message secret number (PMSN) used to compute (r, s).
+ See Section 6.3 and Appendix B.5 for more information on the PMSN. \ No newline at end of file
