Rust secp256k1 ECDSA benchmarks

This repository contains ECDSA benchmarks for three different Rust crates that implement the secp256k1 elliptic curve:

• k256: RustCrypto's pure Rust implementation of secp256k1
• libsecp256k1: Parity's implementation of secp256k1
• rust-secp256k1: FFI wrapper crate for the bitcoin-core/secp256k1 C library

Initial results

Benchmarks performed on a Intel(R) Xeon(R) E-2286M CPU @ 2.40GHz with Turbo Boost disabled.

Endomorphism optimizations were enabled for both the k256 and rust-secp256k1 crates.
