[Cryptech Tech] why not deterministic ecdsa?

[Simon Josefsson]

I was reading https://cryptech.is/ecdsa/ that contains:

   On the one hand, every signature uses a new random number, and, since
   we think we have a pretty good TRNG, this doesn’t give an attacker
   much to work with.

Am I reading this right that your ECDSA code generated a fresh k from
your TRNG?

You want to read and consider RFC 6979.
