What is the role of the generator point G in elliptic curve cryptography as used in blockchain systems?
-
A
It is a random value added to the private key for obfuscation
-
B
It is a publicly known fixed point on the curve used to compute public keys via scalar multiplication
-
C
It is the hash of the curve parameters used for domain separation
-
D
It represents the curve's order and sets the maximum private key value
