What is Digital Signature

1.

An encrypted message digest created with a private key to authenticate the sender of a computer file or a message. Learn more in: Federal Public-Key Infrastructure

2.

Is a method of authenticating digital information typically treated as a substitute for a physical signature, as it eliminates the need to have a paper version of the document that needs to be signed. Learn more in: Future Challenges of Marketing Online-to-Offline (O2O)

3.

An electronic signature based upon cryptographic methods of origin authentication. Usually it is appended to a message to assure the recipient of the authenticity and integrity of the message. Learn more in: Mobile Payment

4.

A digital signature aims to serve the same purposes as a real-world signature. A sound digital signature ensures that the sender of the digital signature can be authenticated, the sender cannot later repudiate that she of he has sent the signed message, and a receiver cannot forge a digital signature (without being detected).

5.

An electronic signature can be deemed the digital equivalent of a handwritten signature. Electronic signatures can be used to authenticate the identity of the signer of the document and to also confirm the data integrity of the document.

6.

A digital signature is any procedure of encryption for the purpose of information or transactional safety, which is intended to be equivalent to a hand-written signature. Learn more in: Performance and Accountability in E-Budgeting Projects

7.

A mathematical scheme for ensuring the authenticity of a message. The sender encrypts the message using its private key in order to create a digital signature. By doing this, the sender adds his identity to the message since the private key is only owned by that particular sender. Learn more in: Use of Bitcoin for Internet Trade

8.

An identifier used to authenticate the sender of an electronic message or the signer of an electronic document. Learn more in: Virtual Private Networks

9.

It is a mathematical scheme for presenting the authenticity of digital messages or documents; it uses public and private keys to encrypt and decrypt the data. Learn more in: Data Confidentiality, Integrity, and Authentication

10.

Cryptographic means to determine the integrity of a digital content. Learn more in: Digital Video Authentication

11.

Also called electronic signature, it is used to indicate that the plain text or file that it is attached to an electronic mail is originated by the sender. The process has three parts: Key Generation, Signature, and Verification. There are other terms comes in association with Digital Signature, such as Digital Certificates (DC). Learn more in: Cryptography for Information Security

12.

A digital string calculated from a digital document and a cryptographic private key. A digital signature is bound to both the document signed (hence document-dependent) and the signing key and is universally verifiable. Learn more in: Bitcoin for E-Commerce: Principles and Applications

13.

Digital signature is a type of asymmetric cryptography used to simulate the security properties of a signature in digital rather than written form. Digital signature schemes normally give two algorithms, one for signing which involves the user’s secret or private key, and one for verifying signatures which involves the user’s public key. The output of the signature process is called the “digital signature.” Learn more in: Trustworthy Networks, Authentication, Privacy, and Security Models

A digital code that can be attached to an electronically transmitted message to uniquely identify its contents and the sender. Learn more in: Teletranslation

16.

A digital signature aims to serve as the same purposes as a real-world signature. A sound digital signature ensures that the sender of the digital signature can be authenticated, the sender cannot later repudiate that she has sent the signed message, and a receiver cannot forge a digital signature (without being detected).

From the Citizen Card it is possible to make the electronic signature through the Digital Mobile Key, speeding up the process of signing documents. Learn more in: Sustainability Design Applied to the Digital Signature of Documents

22.

An extra data appended to the message in order to authenticate the identity of the sender, and to ensure that the original content of the message or document that has been sent is unchanged. Learn more in: Mobile Agent Authentication and Authorization

23.

Public-key cryptographic scheme that ensures authenticity and integrity of a document, and which also reaches the goal of non-repudiation (i.e. the holder of a private key cannot deny having signed a document if verification with the corresponding public key is successful).
