Use deterministic signatures for ECDSA keys.
This is now considered the preffered approach across the board for ECDSA. This is because with the traditional, random "k" parameter for ECDSA, any entropy problems at all, even a single bit, about "k", results in a complete compromise (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ECDSA#Security). The deterministic algorithm doesn't have this downside.
