Let us define the notations that will be used throughout this writeup:
> 1. <strong>G</strong> - a point on the Elliptic Curve, chosen as the base point
> 2. <strong>x<sub>Q</sub>, y<sub>Q</sub></strong> - x, y coordinates of a point Q on the Elliptic Curve
> 3. **n** - order of the subgroup generated by P
> 3. **n** - order of the subgroup generated by G
> 4. **N** - order of the Elliptic Curve
> 5. **p** - size of the finite field over which the Elliptic Curve is defined
> 6. **e** - HASH(m), where HASH() is a [cryptographically secure hash function](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Security_of_cryptographic_hash_functions#Provably_secure_hash_functions). A hashing algorithm is selected by signature generator and verifier when the communication between the two is just established.
