Digital Signature

A Digital Signature is a cryptographic technique that provides a secure and verifiable way of signing electronic documents and messages, ensuring the authenticity and integrity of the signed content. Digital signatures use public key cryptography to create a unique signature that can only be generated by the holder of the private key, making it nearly impossible to forge. They are legally binding in many jurisdictions and are critical for e-commerce, digital contracts, and secure communications.
