* The most important development from the work on public-key cryptography is the digital signature. Message authentication protects two parties who exchange messages from any third party. However, it does not protect the two parties against each other. A digital signature is analogous to the handwritten signature, and provides a set of security capabilities that would be difficult to implement in any other way. It must have the following properties: ? It must verify the author and the date and time of the signature ? It must to authenticate the contents at the time of the signature ? It must be verifiable by third parties,to resolve disputes Thus, the digital signature function includes the authentication function. * The most important development from the work on public-key cryptography is the digital signature.

A variety of approaches has been proposed for the digital signature function. These approaches fall into two categories: direct and arbitrated. * Direct Digital Signatures involve the direct application of public-key algorithms involving only the communicating parties. A digital signature may be formed by encrypting the entire message with the sender’s private key, or by encrypting a hash code of the message with the
