Wait, libsecp256k1 supports deterministic signing.

Derandomized DSA (via RFC6979 or with a caller provided function.)

Here is RFC6979 by the way: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6979

So is that extra entropy necessary at all or is it just an optional bonus? I don't understand why context_randomize should be necessary at all?

Edit: Apparently, this (bitcoin-core/secp256k1@d227579) is why it is needed. It is to "reduce exposure to potential power/EMI sidechannels". Crazy stuff. Of course, it isn't a threat at all if the attacker isn't physically near the signing device.

@bytemaster what is the status of this ticket? Is this a real problem, or can I close it?
