Digital Signature

A digital signature is a process performed on a data stream; which is based on the use of public key cryptography and cryptographic message digests.

The purpose and function of a digital signature is twofold;

1. Determine the data "signed" has not been altered

2. Determine the person or entity who signed the data has been authenticated.
