An electronic signature may also refer to electronic forms of processing or verifying identity through the use of biometric "signatures" or biologically identifying qualities of an individual. Such signatures use the approach of attaching some biometric measurement to a document as evidence.
The Digital Signature Act 1997 (Malay: Akta Tandatangan Digital 1997), is a Malaysian law enacted to make provision for, and to regulate the use of, digital signatures and to provide for matters connected therewith.
Digital signature Alice signs a message—"Hello Bob!"—by appending a signature computed from the message and her private key. Bob receives both the message and signature. He uses Alice's public key to verify the authenticity of the signed message.
Digital Signature Algorithm. The Digital Signature Algorithm (DSA) is a public-key cryptosystem and Federal Information Processing Standard for digital signatures, based on the mathematical concept of modular exponentiation and the discrete logarithm problem. In a public-key cryptosystem, two keys are generated: data can only be encrypted with ...
Blind signature. In cryptography a blind signature, as introduced by David Chaum, [1] is a form of digital signature in which the content of a message is disguised (blinded) before it is signed. The resulting blind signature can be publicly verified against the original, unblinded message in the manner of a regular digital signature.
List of file signatures. This is a list of file signatures, data used to identify or verify the content of a file. Such signatures are also known as magic numbers or Magic Bytes. Many file formats are not intended to be read as text. If such a file is accidentally viewed as a text file, its contents will be unintelligible.
ABA digital signature guidelines The ABA digital signature guidelines[1] are a set of guidelines published on 1 August 1996 by the American Bar Association (ABA) Section of Science and Technology Law. The authors are members of the Section's Information Security Committee. The document was the first overview of principles and a framework for the use of digital signatures and authentication in ...
Schnorr signature. In cryptography, a Schnorr signature is a digital signature produced by the Schnorr signature algorithm that was described by Claus Schnorr. It is a digital signature scheme known for its simplicity, among the first whose security is based on the intractability of certain discrete logarithm problems.
