Study Notes
Digital Signatures and Public-Private Key Pairs
- Non-repudiation is the certainty that the sender of an e-mail or signer of a document is bound to that document by their digital signature and cannot later deny having conducted the transaction.
Private-Public Key Pairs
- A private-public key pair consists of two simultaneously generated keys using a mathematical process.
- Each key represents a digital, computerized code uniquely tied to a user's identity.
- This concept is also known as asymmetric encryption.
Public Key
- The purpose of the Public Key is to encrypt e-mail messages and verify the sender's identity.
- The Public Key is used to decrypt the message and authenticate the sender.
Private Key
- The purpose of the Private Key is to decrypt e-mail messages and verify the sender's identity.
- The Private Key is used to sign the message and ensure non-repudiation.
Key Pair Components
- The digital, computerized code uniquely tied to a user's identity in the private-public key pair is referred to as the user's identity.
- This code is used to create the private and public keys.
