``` go
package main
import (
"crypto/ecdsa"
"crypto/elliptic"
"crypto/rand"
"crypto/sha512"
"fmt"
"github.com/codahale/rfc6979"
)
func main() {
// Generate a key pair.
// You need a high-quality PRNG for this.
k, _ := ecdsa.GenerateKey(elliptic.P521(), rand.Reader)
// Hash a message.
alg := sha512.New()
alg.Write([]byte("I am a potato."))
hash := alg.Sum(nil)
2013-08-21 00:47:02 +00:00
// Sign the message. You don't need a PRNG for this.

r, s, _ := rfc6979.SignECDSA(k, hash, sha512.New)
fmt.Printf("Signature: %X%X", r, s)
}
