PRACTICAL : 10

AIM: Demonstrate working of Digital Signature using Cryptool.

THEORY: Digital signatures are a critical component of modern


cryptography, providing a means to ensure the authenticity, integrity, and
non-repudiation of digital messages. This explanation outlines the theory
behind digital signatures and demonstrates their functionality using
CrypTool, an interactive cryptography tool.

❖ Theory of Digital Signatures:-

➢ Basic Concepts
A digital signature is a mathematical scheme that binds a person
or entity to digital data, ensuring that the data has not been altered
in transit. The process relies on public key cryptography, which
utilizes a pair of keys: a private key (kept secret by the signer) and
a public key (shared with recipients).

➢ How Digital Signatures Work:-


1. Key Generation: Each user generates a pair of keys—one private
and one public. The private key is used for signing data, while the
public key is used for verification.
2. Signing Process:
• The signer creates a hash of the message using a hash
function, which produces a fixed-length string unique to the
content of the message.
• This hash is then encrypted with the signer's private key to
create the digital signature.
• The original message and its digital signature are sent to the
recipient.
3. Verification Process:
• The recipient receives the message and the digital signature.
• To verify, the recipient decrypts the digital signature using
the sender's public key, retrieving the original hash value.

• The recipient then computes a new hash from the received


message.
• If both hash values match, it confirms that the message is
authentic and has not been altered; otherwise, it indicates
tampering or an invalid signature
