!!! Overview [{$pagename}] ([DSS]) is defined as a [Standard] in [FIPS 186]-4. [{$pagename}] Standard specifies a suite of algorithms that can be used to generate a [Digital Signature]. [Digital Signature] are used to detect unauthorized modifications to data and to [authenticate] the identity of the signatory. In addition, the recipient of signed data can use a [Digital Signature] as evidence in demonstrating to a [Third-party] that the [Digital Signature] was, in fact, generated by the claimed signatory. This is known as [Non-Repudiation], since the signatory cannot easily repudiate the signature at a later time. [{$pagename}] defines the following [Elliptic Curves]: * [P-192] * [P-224] * [P-256] * [P-384] * [P-521] !!
