Description

## Description

Currently, https://github.com/ipfs-shipyard/js-idm-signatures uses secp256k1 deterministic signatures, meaning there's an implicit deterministic nonce. Should we consider an option to generate a random nonce?

## Acceptance Criteria

Research direction

Start by reviewing the linked js-idm-signatures project and its secp256k1 signing entry points; this issue names no files or tests. Clarify whether randomized nonces should be an option, then define acceptance criteria and tests that demonstrate the selected behavior.
