数字签名(Digital Signature)是使用特定的加密算法为电子文档或消息创建的一种加密摘要,用于验证消息的完整性以及消息来源的身份。 1. 生成过程: 发送者首先使用某种哈希函数为原始消息生成一个摘要。 然后,使用发送者的私钥加密这个摘要,得到的加密结果即为数字签名。 发送者将原始消息和数字签名一起发送给接收者...
A person creates a digital signature using a private key to encrypt a signature. At the same time, hash data is created and encrypted. The recipient uses a signer's public key to decrypt the signature. A digital signature can be used with any kind of message, whether or not it's encryp...
With his private key and the right software, Bob can put digital signatures on documents and other data. A digital signature is a "stamp" Bob places on the data which is unique to Bob, and is very difficult to forge. In addition, the signature assures that any changes made to the data...
Cryptographic digital signatures make use ofasymmetric encryptionkeys, i.e. public keys and their corresponding private keys (a.k.a. secret keys). The private key is used to create a digital signature (in other words, for "signing"), while the public encryption key is used for verifying the...
Bob's public key de-encrypts the signature successfully, then Pat is assured that the signature was created using Bob's private key, for Susan has certified the matching public key. And of course, if the signature is valid, then we know that Doug didn't try to change the signed content...
“A digital signature is an electronic signature and [public key infrastructure]-based certificate (digital ID) combined into one,” explains Lila Kee, chief product officer and general manager, Americas forGlobalSign, a provider of digital signatures. “They provide integrity and, with the use of...
