Digital SignaturesDigital Signatures have looked at have looked at message authentication message authentication
but does not address issues of lack of trustbut does not address issues of lack of trust digital signatures provide the ability to: digital signatures provide the ability to:
verify author, date & time of signatureverify author, date & time of signature authenticate message contents authenticate message contents be verified by third parties to resolve disputesbe verified by third parties to resolve disputes
hence include authentication function with hence include authentication function with additional capabilitiesadditional capabilities
Digital Signature PropertiesDigital Signature Properties must depend on the message signedmust depend on the message signed must use information unique to sendermust use information unique to sender
to prevent both forgery and denialto prevent both forgery and denial must be relatively easy to producemust be relatively easy to produce must be relatively easy to recognize & verifymust be relatively easy to recognize & verify be computationally infeasible to forge be computationally infeasible to forge

Direct Digital SignaturesDirect Digital Signatures involve only sender & receiverinvolve only sender & receiver assumed receiver has sender’s public-keyassumed receiver has sender’s public-key digital signature made by sender signing digital signature made by sender signing
entire message or hash with private-keyentire message or hash with private-key can encrypt using receivers public-keycan encrypt using receivers public-key important that sign first then encrypt important that sign first then encrypt
