 .. note::
 
     It is application's responsibility to define rules (trust model) of when a specific issuer (KeyLocator) is authorized to sign a specific Data packet.
     While trust model is outside the scope of the current specification, generally, trust model needs to specify authorization rules between KeyName and Data packet Name, as well as clearly define trust anchor(s).
-    For example, an application can elect to use hierarchical trust model :cite:`testbed-key-management` to ensure Data integrity and provenance.

+``SignatureSha256WithEcdsa`` defines an ECDSA public key signature that is calculated over the SHA256 hash of the :ref:`Name`, :ref:`MetaInfo`, :ref:`Content`, and :ref:`SignatureInfo <Signature>` TLVs.
+The signature algorithm is defined in `[RFC5753], Section 2.1 <http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5753#section-2.1>`_.

+
+   The SignatureValue size depends on the private key length used during the signing process (about 63 bytes for a 224 bit key).
+
+This type of signature ensures strict provenance of a Data packet, provided that the signature verifies and the signature issuer is authorized to sign the Data packet.
+The signature issuer is identified using the :ref:`KeyLocator` block in the :ref:`SignatureInfo <Signature>` block of the ``SignatureSha256WithEcdsa``.
+A KeyLocatorDigest is defined over the DER encoding of the SubjectPublicKeyInfo for an EC key as defined by `RFC 5480 <http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc5480.txt>`_.
+See the :ref:`KeyLocator section <KeyLocator>` for more detail.
+
+The value of ``SignatureValue`` of ``SignatureSha256WithEcdsa`` is a DER encoded DSA signature as defined in `Section 2.2.3 in RFC 3279 <http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3279#section-2.2.3>`_.
