Digital signatures
● Scheme for demonstrating the authenticity of digital messages or documents.
● A valid digital signature gives a recipient reason to believe that
○ the message was created by a known sender (authentication)
○ that the sender cannot deny having sent the message (non-repudiation)
○ and that the message was not altered in transit (integrity).
