Digital Signature (08IT012)

Digital signatures provide authentication, integrity and non-repudiation for electronic documents. They work using public key cryptography where a document is hashed and encrypted with the sender's private key. The recipient can then decrypt the signature with the sender's public key and verify that the document hasn't changed by re-hashing and comparing hashes. Digital signatures have applications in e-mail, data storage, funds transfer, software distribution and telecommunications but require securing private keys, take time to generate and verify, and require storage of keys over time.

INTRODUCTION

A digital signature is nothing but an attachment


to any piece of electronic information, which
represents the content of the document and the
identity of the originator of that document
uniquely.
WHY DIGITAL SIGNATURES?
- To provide Authenticity, Integrity and Non-
repudiation to electronic documents

- To use the Internet as the safe and secure


medium for e-Commerce and e-Governance
STEPS
1 : Generation of key

2 : Signing the document

3 : Send to destination

4 : Verification of document
CONCEPTS
Public and Private key
• A 1024 bits number is a very big number much bigger than the total
number of electrons in whole world.
• Trillions of Trillions of pairs of numbers exist in this range with each
pair having following property
– A message encrypted with one element of the pair can be
decrypted ONLY by the other element of the same pair
• Two numbers of a pair are called keys, the Public Key & the Private
Key. User himself generates his own key pair on his computer
CONCEPTS
Hash Value

- Any message irrespective of its length can be compressed or


abridged uniquely into a smaller length message called the
Digest or the Hash.

- Smallest change in the message will change the Hash value


CRYPTOGRAPHY

The technique used in Digital Signature is CRYPTOGRAPHY .

Cryptography (or cryptology; from Greek kryptos + gráph,


"hidden, secret”+ "writing" ) is the practice and study of hiding
information.
Types of cryptography
There are two types of cryptography

1 : Public key cryptography

2 : Private key cryptography

WHAT IS DIGITAL SIGNATURE?
Hash value of a message when encrypted with the private key of
a person is his digital signature on that e-Document

– Digital Signature of a person therefore varies from document


to document thus ensuring authenticity of each word of that
document.

– As the public key of the signer is known, anybody can verify


the message and the digital signature
PROCEDURE
EXAMPLE
APPLICATIONS
1.Electronic Mail.

2. Data storage.

3. Electronic funds transfer.

4. Software Distribution.

5. Telecommunication
DRAWBACKS
1.The private key must be kept in a secured manner.
2.The process of generation and verification of digital signature
requires considerable amount of time.
3.When the digital signature is not verified : receiver does not
know whether the message was corrupted or the false private key
was used.
4. Has to obtain private and public key, the receiver has to
obtain the digital signature certificate
5. Storage of all the previous keys is another overhead.
6. Does not ensure secrecy of the data.
