!!! Overview [{$pagename}] is a [Cryptographic Primitive] that is part of a [Digital Signature Algorithm] that produces a [Digital Signature] representative from a [message] representative under the control of a [Private Key] [{$pagename}] requires a corresponding [Signature Verification] for a [Verifier] to verify the [Digital Signature]. [{$pagename}] takes the original [message] and generating a, typically fixed-length, [Hash] of the [message] by means of a [Hash Function] ([One-Way Hash Function]) into a [Digital Signature]. !! [{$pagename}] [How To] [{$pagename}] is done using: * [One-Way Hash Function] using the [message] to be signed. * The signer's [Private Key] is then used to [Encrypt] the [hash]. The [encrypted] [hash] -- along with other information, such as the [Hash Function] -- is the [Digital Signature]. !!
