Is there any framework or functions for ECDSA in iOS?
I can not find this information in documentation. Please, can you show me if it is possible to implement ECDSA using some native framework. I can implement it using OpenSSL but Apple has deprecated it. Therefore, I think Apple could provide some other ways. Also I need some other information if it is possible:

could I use different hash functions (for example SHA256)
do I have an ability to recover public key by data hash and signature
what curve types could I use

Thank you for reply.

Are you trying to implement ECDSA as part of TLS? Or ECDSA in some other context?

  No, I am not. I am trying to use ECDSA to sign and verify encrypted user messages, so it is not a part of TLS context

    I believe you can do this using the new ‘unified’ crypto API. Take a look at all the new-in-iOS 10 stuff in <Security/SecKey.h>. I’ve used this stuff for RSA and it worked really well (see the CryptoCompatibility sample code) but I haven’t yet had a chance to try out the ECDSA stuff.
