Overview of Digital Signatures

This presentation by Raghav Sai Cheedalla provides an overview of digital signatures, a critical component for authenticating the identity of senders and ensuring the integrity of electronic documents. Digital signatures facilitate secure e-commerce and e-governance by offering authenticity, non-repudiation, and integrity. The process includes generating private and public keys, signing electronic documents, and validating the signature to ensure the document’s authenticity. A digital certificate, issued by a Certificate Authority (CA), binds a public key to an identity, enhancing security.
