Signing transactions

Bitcoin

Before a transaction can be sent to the Bitcoin network, each input must be signed.

Threshold ECDSA

Canisters can sign transactions with threshold ECDSA through the sign_with_ecdsa method.

The following snippet shows a simplified example of how to sign a Bitcoin transaction for the special case where all the inputs are referencing outpoints that are owned by own_address and own_address is a P2PKH address.
