Digital Signature

Digital signature

A digital signature is an electronic, encrypted, stamp of authentication on digital information such as email messages or electronic documents.
A signature confirms that the information originated from the signer and has not been altered.
It provides the highest levels of security and universal acceptance.

Working of Digital Signature

Sender’s side

When the sender electronically signs a document two keys are generated: Public and Private.
The private key is kept by the signer and it should be kept securely. On the other hand, the receiver must have the public key to decrypt the message.
Then the Hash function is used on the document to create Hash, which is also known as digest.
Then the private key is used to encrypt hash.
The document is sent to the recipients along with the sender's public key.

Receiver’s side

The recipient receives the document and decrypts the encrypted hash with the sender's public key certificate.
A cryptographic hash is again generated on the recipient's end using the same hash function that the sender used.
Both cryptographic hashes(of sender and receiver) are compared to check its authenticity.
If they match, the document hasn't been tampered with and is considered valid.

Define LAN and WAN

. Local Area Network (LAN) A LAN is a network that is used for communicating among computer devices, usually within an office building or home. LAN’s enable the sharing of resources such as files or hardware devices that may be needed by multiple users • • Is limited in size, typically spanning a few hundred meters, and no more than a mile. Is fast, with speeds from 10 Mbps to 10 Gbps. Requires little wiring, typically a single cable connecting to each device. Has lower cost compared to MAN’s or WAN’s. LAN’s can be either wired or wireless. Twisted pair, coax or fiber optic cable can be used in wired LAN’s. Advantages of LAN : The data is transferred at an extremely faster rate in local Area Network. Local area network (LAN) provides higher security. Disadvantages of LAN : Initial cost of installing local area network is quite high. Unauthorized user can access critical data of an organization in case LAN ad...
