INTRODUCTION TO DIGITAL SIGNATURE

 A digital signature is an electronic, encrypted, stamp of authentication on


digital information such as email messages,or electronic documents.

 A digital signature is nothing but an attachment to any piece of


electronic information, which represents the content of the document and
the identity of the owner of that document uniquely.
 WHY DIGITAL SIGNATURE

. To provide Authenticity, Integrity and Non-Repudiation to electronic document.

. To use the Internet as the safe and secure medium for e-commerce and e-Governance.
BASIC REQUIREMENTS
 Private Key:

The private key is one which is accessible only to the signer. It


is used to generate the digital signature which is then
attached to the message.

 Public Key:

The public key is made available to all those who receive the
signed messages from the sender. It is used for verification of
the received message
HOW DOES WORK
Digital certificate
 A subscriber of theprivate key and public key pair makes the
public key available to all those who are intended to receive
the signed messages from the subscriber.

 But in case of any dispute between the two sides, there must
be some entity with the receiver which will allow the receiver
of the message to prove that the message was sent by the
subscriber of the key pair. This can be done with the Digital
Certificate.

these tech products have a short shelf life.

 Certificate: In order to effectively use digital signatures, both


senders and recipients may have to buy digital certificates.

 Software: To work with digital certificates, senders and


recipients have to buy verification software at a cost.
