    Study Notes

    Digital Signatures vs Conventional Signatures

    • The main difference between a conventional signature and a digital signature is that a digital signature uses a cryptographic process to ensure the authenticity and integrity of a message, whereas a conventional signature is a physical mark on a document.

    Digital Signature Verification

    • To verify the authenticity of a digital signature, the recipient needs to apply a verification technique to the message and the signature.

    Digital Signature and Message Relationship

    • A digital signature has a strong relationship with a message, as it is used to ensure the integrity and authenticity of the message.

    Digital Signature Format

    • A digital signature is typically sent in a digital format, along with the message.

    Digital Signature Security Services

    • Digital signatures provide security services such as authentication, integrity, and non-repudiation.

    Non-Repudiation

    • Non-repudiation requires that a sender of a message cannot deny having sent the message, which is ensured by digital signatures.

    Digital Signature and Cryptosystem

    • A digital signature needs a cryptosystem to operate, which uses private and public keys.

    Digital Signature and Message Integrity

    • The integrity of the message is preserved in a digital signature by using a hash function to create a digital fingerprint of the message.

    Digital Signature and Copy Distinction

    • In digital signatures, a copy of the signed document can be distinguished from the original one on file by using a unique digital fingerprint.

    Digital Signature and Verification Method

    • The verification method for digital signatures differs from conventional signatures, as it requires a cryptographic process to verify the authenticity of the message.

    Digital Signature and Key Requirements

    • A digital signature needs a pair of keys (private and public) for its operation.

    Digital Signature and Confidentiality

    • Digital signatures do not provide confidentiality, which requires another layer of encryption/decryption.
    • Confidentiality in digital signatures differs from message confidentiality, as it only ensures the authenticity and integrity of the message, not its secrecy.
